About this specimen

A matched pair of Yunnan thumbnails in the two colors the province does best: a druse of magenta cobaltoan calcite — pink dialled up to neon by trace cobalt — and a crust of sky-blue botryoidal hemimorphite, smooth and glowing as sea glass. Each sits on its own acrylic base.

Displayed together the pair plays hot against cool; separated, they seed two different suites. Either way you get the full Yunnan carbonate-zone palette in miniature, at a fraction of what larger examples of either species command.

Combined size about 4.1 × 2.0 × 2.5 cm, 25 g. Both pieces ship together; the photographs show the exact pair.
