2.2"D Cobalto Calcite Sphere Rare
Pink Gemstone Ball - Congo sr24
|
Description:
- Dale always experiments making spheres from any
mineral that falls in his hands and it is large enough to work
with. Cobalto calcite is one of them. One usually finds cobalto
calcite crystals in a very thin layer on top or a rock matrix but
this one is all cobalto calcite
- Many previous trials with cobalto did not work
very well. The point in making a cobalto calcite sphere is to
somehow retain the crystals since their massive form is pretty but
not as impressive.
- Well, this time it worked; VOILA!
- The workmanship of the sphere is outstanding and
the color of the cystals, nested in a couple of geode-like vugs, is
just beautiful.
- This cobalto calcite sphere is a rare and
outstanding collector's item!
- Approximate weight: 9 oz
- Approximate size: 2.2 inches diameter or 56
mm
