2.2"D Cobalto Calcite Sphere Rare Pink Gemstone Ball - Congo, sr24

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 for Dale. 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
