An attractive and unusual combination piece with shimmering, hot pink cobalt-rich minerals of several species and sizes: the larger, hot pink, rhombohedral dolomites; and the smaller druse of cobaltoan calcite on which the big rhombs sit. Finding the two carbonates together on one piece, and both pink, is a big surprise to me. Ex. Charlie Key.
