An absolutely stunning specimen, this is a unique piece in terms of composition and aesthetics. It consists of a 1 mm thick or so coating of cobaltoan dolomite over dolomite, showing interesting orientation patterns. It is complete on five sides and naturally contacted in the back. The color, luster, and gemminess of the fined coating of crystals is amazing! 2.4 x 2.2 x 1.2 cm
