Coating of bright green Malachite over vivid pink Cobaltoan Calcite (or possibly Cobaltoan Dolomite) creating a stunning mixture of colors and forms. The Malachite coats the left side with the right side all Cobaltian Calcite. The area of Cobaltian Calcite includes larger more deeply colored crystals atop a druse of smaller crystals. A very colorful specimen.
