Description

This is an extraordinary mini, featuring countless disc-shaped crystals of rare cobaltoancarbonate spherocobaltite accompanied by a fine spray of deep purple erythrite. The spherocobaltite has a slightly similar colour like the erythrite but it is glassy and has a more glistening surface. This is in any case a super aesthetic and also rare specimen.
