Bladed crystals of Kolwezite pseudomorphs and a mass of bright green Malachite atop vivid pink Cobaltoan Calcite (or possibly Cobaltoan Dolomite) creating a stunning mixture of colors and forms. There are also small disc shaped white Calcite crystals in areas. Kolwezite is a Copper Cobalt Carbonate Hydroxide and this is the type locality for the species. A beautiful large display piece and combination specimen of two desireable species together.
