Much rarer from Mexico than from Morocco, Russia or Peru, this is a bright pink cobaltoan calcite with fine, translucent crystals wrapped in a crown around the top of the matrix, and smaller ones down the front of the face. These are old specimens, at least 30 years out of the ground, and I value thewm highly buying every one I see when they turn up (which is seldom). 4 x 3 x 2.8 cm
