Dark olive green botryoidal Kolwezite atop rhombs of pink Cobaltoan Calcite (or possibly Cobaltoan Dolomite) creating a stunning mixture of colors and forms. Kolwezite is a Copper Cobalt Carbonate Hydroxide and this is the type locality for the species. A beautiful display piece and combination specimen of two desireable species together. Sawcut on back.
