Nicely emplaced on massive, cobalt-rich ore, are discrete, tabular erythrite crystals forming a really unusual rosette measuring 3.5 cm across. The color is a rich magenta. Classic for the material. From new finds, notable for the overall shape of this spray of crystals, though there are certainly bigger and richer pieces out there.
