A pleasing display of baby pink Cobaltoan Calcite from the well regarded area of Bou Azer, Morocco. Inter grown crystals of Cobaltoan Calcite display excellent form, with a ridge-like habit to them. The pink Cobaltoan Calcite is seen to have over grown a core of white Calcite, with a band of black Mn-oxide. A fine specimen of the Calcite variety.
