Cobaltocalcite Druzy Calcite | DR Congo | Large Statement Mineral Specimen
This exceptional cobaltocalcite (cobalt-bearing calcite) specimen from the Democratic Republic of the Congo displays vivid magenta to deep pink coloration with a fine druzy crystal surface. The color is naturally produced by trace amounts of cobalt, giving this mineral its highly sought-after intensity and saturation.
The specimen offers broad, continuous coverage of druzy crystals across the primary face, creating strong visual impact and sparkle under light. Subtle matrix contrast enhances depth while allowing the cobaltocalcite to remain the dominant feature.
Large cobaltocalcite specimens of this quality are increasingly difficult to source, particularly with this level of color saturation and surface integrity. This piece functions equally well as a collector mineral or as a bold sculptural object in a curated interior or gallery setting.
This specimen is completely natural and unaltered.
