Cobaltoan Calcite
Agoudal Mine, Bou Azzer
Souss-Massa-Draa region, Ouarzazate Province, Tazenakht, Morocco
6 x 4.7 CM (cabinet)
price: $950
Spring 2013
A especially choice piece from the best find of Cobaltoan Calcites in Morocco in almost 20 years! This is a striking, fine and really well-formed "flower". Composed of scalenohedral and hoppered scalenohedral crystals up to 2 CM long this has an electric intense pink color that is easily noticed in any lighting. A great impact specimen, it reminds me of a N'chwaning Rhodochrosite but with a cobaltian color. In very good condition overall, the only notable damage is at the outer edges, the main central crystals are excellent.
