Crystalline Cobaltoan Calcite & Fibrous Malachite - 8.0 oz Congo Specimen Enrich your mineral collection with this highly aesthetic, sharply colored Cobaltoan Calcite and Malachite cabinet specimen. Sourced from the famous copper-cobalt vugs of the Mashamba West Mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, this 8.0 oz piece features an array of well-defined, naturally geometric pink calcite crystals with a bright glassy shine. Crawling across the center of the deep magenta crystals is a beautiful, contrasting cluster of pale green fibrous tufted malachite, making this a top-tier collection piece. Product Details: Mineral Type: Natural Cobaltoan Calcite (Cobaltocalcite) with Fibrous Malachite Locality: Mashamba West Mine, Katanga, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) Weight: 8.00 oz (226 grams) Form: Raw, unpolished crystalline cluster with a distinct, blocky crystal habit and tufted mineral overgrowths. Colors: Deep Magenta Pink, Rose, Pale Moss Green, and an earthen gray host matrix. Notable Features & Aesthetics: Sharp Crystalline Habit: Unlike standard micro-druzy coatings, this specimen boasts larger, individual blocky calcite crystals that showcase clear faces and excellent light reflection. Rare Fibrous Malachite Overgrowth: The center of the piece features a beautiful, soft-looking "tufted" or fibrous malachite nest that sits perfectly in the valley of the pink crystals. Vibrant 100% Natural Color: The rich, hot-pink hue is entirely organic, created by natural cobalt blending into the calcite structure during formation. Sculpted Display Matrix: The back of the host rock has been cleanly trimmed, allowing the piece to stand beautifully on its own to angle the crystal face straight forward.
