SCY09 Cobaltian Calcite
Mashamba West Mine, Lualaba, D.R. Congo
7.6x 5.0x 2.1 cm
$385

A rich example of pink cobaltian calcite crystals from recent finds in the Democratic Republic of Congo.  I had seen a few crystals popping up with Chinese vendors with connections to the Congolese mines, then several months later there was a bit more scattered among several vendors in Saint Marie. I personally found this to be the most exciting find of the show--the last time these were found in good quality was the 1980's.
