Now here is an unusual combination of minerals that look really beautiful together! These are acicular crystals of primary malachite, which have grown on a bed of lustrous, deep salmon-pink cobaltoan calcite (not a druse, but real crystals!). A special piece! Old material, too, from finds of a decade or so ago. 6.0 x 5.0 x 4.0cm
