Calcite v. Cobaltoan, Malachite
Unknown Owner
Cobaltoan calcite specimens from the Democratic Republic of Congo are famous among collectors as some of the world’s most beautiful and unusual calcite crystals. This is a very fine example from the Kolwezi mine featuring sharp, lustrous, doubly-terminated pink calcite crystals to 2+ cm associated with vibrant green malachite. The association of bright pink calcite and green malachite is very aesthetic, and this is an excellent classic from a locale that is no longer producing.
