Large, gemmy pink crystals of Cobaltian Calcite. These large scalenohedral crystals are the type that make Cobaltian Calcite from this area world famous and are hard to find. The main crystal is 2.7cm and perfect, as are the other crystals with the exception of the crystal below the main crystal which has a cleaved termination. A light dusting of Chrysocolla on the matrix adds even more color to this large, impactful specimen.
