Comment: A super and unusual specimen from Morocco. Vivid raspberry pink translucent Cobaltoan Calcite crystals (to 5mm) with finely stepped growth have overgrown white acicular Calcite, which is still visible through the pink crystals. The tips of the Calcite crystal point out the top of the Cobaltoan Calcite over growth as small frosty white tips. A very attractive and interesting specimen.
Minerals: Calcite (CaCO3) Cobaltocalcite
