A neat and attractive combination piece for the species and locality, this exhibits a cluster of pink zoisite crystals hosting colorless rhombohedral crystals of calcite and minor green diopside. Complete all around, this is in very good condition. Many would refer to this as tanzanite despite the pink color. I think that these are quite rare.
