This is a very attractive and sparkly combination of Cobaltoan Calcite specimen that displays striking vivid hot pink color.  A layer of well-crystalized Cobaltoan Calcite grown on the limestone matrix, they are exceedingly sparkly that scintillates with any ambient light!  The highlight of the piece is the Malachite crystals which is a distinct attribute and rather unique formation.  We have seen hundreds of Cobaltoan Calcite specimens for years but this one is just special amongst them for the mineral combinations, color contrasts and overall look.  Rounded and spherical Malachite nicely decorated the piece in places for added aesthetics.  The sparkle, the splash and the colors make this Cobaltoan Calcite from Congo a true grandstander and winning display piece!  Comes with a high quality copper-wired display stand.
