This is a very colorful cabinet specimen of cobaltoan calcite that is  covered with fine crystals. The color, caused by the presence of cobalt in the crystal structure, is very appealing: a neon-bright magenta pink that is not often seen in the mineral kingdom. And, the crystals are very sharp, glassy and gem clear, with the pink color concentrated on the edges of the sparkling crystals. Specimens of this quality, color, and eye-appeal are rare, and highly sought after. This one has the pizzazz to make it really stand out in your display.
