AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Large Raspberry-Pink Cobaltoan Calcite — Bou Azzer, Morocco
A striking large cabinet specimen of natural Cobaltoan Calcite from the famous Bou Azzer mining district in Morocco.
The specimen displays exceptionally rich raspberry-pink to deep rose-red coloration, with impressive rounded and radiating crystalline formations.
Unlike the thin crystalline coatings often seen in Cobaltoan Calcite specimens, this example features substantial three-dimensional masses with delicate fibrous crystal textures and attractive natural lustre.
Several exposed areas reveal the internal crystalline structure and varying degrees of translucency. Portions of the original host rock remain visible on the reverse.
An eye-catching collector specimen with strong colour, substantial size and an appealing sculptural appearance.
