Cobalt-Calcite -- Malachite
Dimensions: 4.6 x 3.2 x 5.4cm
Location: Mashamba West Mine, Mutshatsha, Lualaba, DR Congo
A perfect 4.2cm long cobalt-bearing calcite crystal paired with a crystallized malachite sphere. The combination is very aesthetically pleasing. The color is subtle, but the contrast and brilliance of the crystal create a beautiful ensemble. This type of pairing from the Congo, once highly sought after, has become very rare on the market.
The mineral is not glued to the base (flexible sealant).
