Description

A good-sized cabinet specimen featuring brilliantly lustrous pink crystals of cobaltoan dolomite. With magnification, one can see modification faces on these crsytals and colour zoning inside them. The outer zones of these cobaltoan dolomite crystals have good transparency, allowing visibility of the interior areas which are not as intense a pink, and this gives the specimen its overall colour. A small splash of green malachite offsets the pink, and with magnification some minor heterogenite is visible. In excellent condition, a couple of missing crystals and some incomplete ones around the periphery. Stands perfectly for display as photographed. An aesthetic, colourful cabinet specimen.
