About this specimen

A cluster of pale, translucent dogtooth calcite points with vivid green conichalcite-type copper arsenate and a pink cobalt-mineral tint filling the spaces between them, giving the pale calcite unexpected colour. Thumbnail size.

Yunnan dogtooth calcite with green and pink copper-cobalt minerals from the same oxidation zone; a micro-mount with more species than its 12 g suggests. Wash hands after handling.

Size 3.2 × 2.4 × 1.6 cm / 1.26 × 0.94 × 0.63 in; weight 12 g / 0.4 oz. Miniature specimen, fits a miniature cabinet or a desk display. What you see in the photos is the piece you receive; any known repair, mount or treatment is disclosed above.

Carbonate: never clean with acid or vinegar.
