Description
This is an intact pocket FILLED with deep pink and GEMMY crystals of the prized cobaltian variety of calcite! You do not often see a whole pocket in matrix like this - it is really striking to see these hot pink gems inside a non-descript chunk of rock! Some good quality cobaltian calcites have been coming out of Bou Azzer in limited amounts lately, and we have been grabbing all the affordable ones we can..but this one, in fact, came out of the Erberto Tealdi collection. 13.4 x 8.7 x 8.0cm
