These beautiful pink crystals have always been prized, and these recent specimens have BIG, GEMMY crystals with excellent color! The crystals here measure to over one centimeter, and are WONDERFULLY gemmy and bright! Cobaltoan calcite is most often seen as a druse, and it's very hard to get with big, gemmy crystals like these!
