Description

A gorgeous specimen hosting sharp, highly-developed gemmy crystals cobaltoan dolomite. The intense deep pink colour is outstanding, and the crystals are glassy with some good transparency. Minor vibrant green malachite crystals and minor black heterogenite in association with the dolomite, adding contrast. In excellent condition, a couple of small incomplete crystals and a few at the peripheral areas, nothing distracting as displayed and no damage to the main deep pink crystals at the top (I would mount this specimen vertically, as in the first photo). This is a beautiful top-calibre cobaltoan dolomite for a discerning collector.
