Recently a batch of cobaltoan calcites with large, distinct crystals came out of Bou Azzer, and we have been buying them up wherever they have appeared - they certainly are a far cry from the boring druses you commonly see from other localities. The scalenohedral crystals here measure up to 1 cm in height. 6.3 x 5.4 x 4.8cm
