They say a picture paints a thousand words. Well, I might as well just stop here and let you enjoy the view for yourself. The quality and beauty of this recently discovered Cobaltoan Calcite from the Kolwezi mining district in DR Congo speaks for itself and with the video you can really appreciate how remarkable this piece is. Formed over a brown botryoidal Goethite core the vivid candy-floss pink, to neon pink nail-head-type cobalt-bearing Calcite crystals are at the very highest end of glassy lustre. Small cabinet in size, this specimen is sure to liven up everyone's day and their cabinet too.
