AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Cobaltocalcite with Kolwezite

Sample of cobaltocalcite characterized by rich crystallization of intense pink color, distributed on the light matrix. The crystals vary in size, with some individuals more developed and clearly recognizable, accompanied by a finer crystallization that covers several areas of the surface.

Among the cobaltocalcite there are small amounts of green kolwezite, concentrated in some points of the sample. The green creates a pleasant contrast with the pink tones without representing a predominant component of the specimen.

Irregular growth and the variety of crystal sizes give the specimen a natural and detail-rich appearance.

The photographs are an integral part of the description. Slight differences in color rendering may occur depending on the monitor, display, or device used to view the images.
