Cobaltian Calcite
Pics say it all here...this is a GLOWING PINK, NEON-COLORED CLUSTER OF CALCITE! The cobaltian inclusions here are rich, and the calcite itself naturally bright and lustrous, multifaceted. The piece just sparkles. This is a large and showy example from the finds of the late 1980s that simply still are among the most colorful mineral specimens ever found in my book. Except for the periphery, the piece is damage free on the display face. In person, it is more 3-dimensional and obviously exceptional for its color but also its condition for the size. I collected calcite since I was a junior level collector, and worked my way up. Along the way, I bought every good one of these I could afford at the time when they were coming out in the 1980s and put them away, so this one was in my collection for some time. Comes with custom base.
