Description
33.65 carats oval cabochon. Pink layers are coarsely crystalline cobaltoan calcite, probably associated with pink aragonite layers. White and blue-green fibrous layers are probably aragonite. The bluish color of these layers may be due to a content of nickel and/or micro inclusions of aurichalcite (zeiringite).
