Description

Cobaltoan dolomite from Tsumeb is impressive and not terribly rare in mediocre form. However, the bright rose colour,  and form of this Dolomite-cast, cabinet size specimen puts it into an incredible, one-of-a-kind category. The thin crust has two display sides as well. It has unusually good luster and a more or less sparkly surface. This is a super-aesthetic specimen in splendid condition. No remarkable imperfections worth to report. Ex Eddy van der Meersche Collection
