Quite simply the most intense neon pink-red cobaltian calcite I have ever seen, from ANYwhere...I couldn't believe the stuff was real. The crystals are to almost 1 centimeter in size, and pseudocubic, packed together to form a solid, translucent, layer over the matrix. This seems to be the highest quality cobaltian calcite yet from small pockets trickling out over the last few years here. 7.4 x 4.8 x 3 cm
