 A perfect 4.2cm long cobalt-bearing calcite crystal paired with a crystallized malachite sphere. The combination is very aesthetically pleasing. The color is subtle, but the contrast and brilliance of the crystal create a beautiful ensemble. This type of pairing from the Congo, once highly sought after, has become very rare on the market.
