About the Item

This exceptional Cobaltoan Calcite and Malachite specimen boasts dazzling color contrast and premium crystallization. Coating both sides of the matrix, true magenta Cobaltoan Calcite displays a rich luster and intense pigmentation – among the finest we’ve encountered in this species. Velvety green Malachite splotches accent the pink Calcite, creating a striking visual interplay of color and texture. Formed in the copper- and cobalt-rich deposits of Zaire, this piece exemplifies the rare beauty that occurs when cobalt ions replace calcium within Calcite's crystal lattice – resulting in the vivid hues collectors treasure. Malachite growth atop the Cobaltoan Calcite adds further depth for a stunning, natural combination worthy of any fine collection. Weight: 1.84 lb.
