Cobaltoan Calcite and Malachite (Ref: AX-12-019)
Mashaba West Mine, Kolwezi Mining District, Katanga (Shaba), Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire)
60mm x 44mm x 42mm
minID: FLF-7WM
The Cobaltoan Calcites of Mashamba have been gone for more than a decade now, but they are still considered to be some of the best and most intensely colored ever found. This specimen has the most desirable contrast with a small matrix of green Malachite and has several generations of pink to clear Calcite displayed. Sadly there are some edge cleaves or contacts but the overall specimen condition is very good and still displays well. The best Scalenohedral crystals are remarkably clean and free of chipping. There are several possible display angles. Now very hard to get in the mineral market these are unique and quite sought after. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
