Calcite
specimen number:
9505278
location:
Mupine Mine, Kolwezi, Lualaba, DR Congo
description: Hot pink translucent pearly crystals of calcite to 4.3 cm across beautiful on matrix with minor malachite. The color on this one with the added translucency is outstanding. Very tiny and sparse micro-cleaving present, I still think in super condition. An old piece from the early 1970s, I think the specimen exceptional.
Size: 8.5 x 7.0 x 6.5 cm (small-cabinet)
