minID: W2D-0GC
This is a Calcite var. Cobaltian with Kolwezite from Mupine Mine, Kolwezi, Katanga, Democratic Republic of Congo. Cobaltian calcite at its best has the most stunning color in the mineral world, to my taste (and Jack shares it, as he pursued these aggressively and they were over-represented in his collection!) This specimen was among Jack's top 3 of 9 of these gorgeous cobaltian calcites he had at the peak size of the collection, and I begged him for just one for myself back in the early 2000s as I was strongly collecting calcites.From: The Arkenstone
