Cobaltoan Calcite

Natural Pink Mineral

Cobaltoan calcite is a pink mineral from the Kamoto mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire).  Although not certain we believe it may also be known as sphaerocobaltite and possibly cobaltoan dolomite.  Despite extensive research we have not been able to find out too much about this mineral but it's an eye-catching piece that we're very happy to have as part of our collection.
