Description

Very nice faceted cobaltite crystal from this classic Swedish locality, but more interesting for the pinkish to reddish layer that covers all the specimen. We have analyzed by SEM-EDS and results show that aplowite is present and accompanied by reddish erythrite. We will send complete analysis to the buyer.
