A flat plate of pink color scalenohedral Cobaltian Calcite crystals are host to a botryoidal mound of fibrous green Malachite crystals. Damage to a few of the Calcite crystals but without it you could add another zero to the price, at least. These are rare and those with the visual pop added by the Malachite are very rare.
