Add a Matching Display Stand
Vibrant pink crystals of Cobalto-Calcite from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The element Cobalt which is naturally occurring in this type of Calcite produces the most electric pink colors.
Sometimes referred to as Cobalt-bearing, Cobalto-Calcite or Cobaltoan Calcite, this is a special variety of Calcite. Regular Calcite has a chemical formula of CaCO3, but Cobalt-bearing calcite is (Ca,Co)CO3, where the Co2+ (Cobalt) replaces some of the Calcium.
Most specimens of this mineral type occur as thin pink layers or coatings on the host rock. This specimen features actual crystals and terminations, making them more unique and valuable.
