Natural XL Drusy Salrose With Crystalline Malachite and Duftite on Dolomite Matrix Cabinet Specimen x 1 From Kakanda, Congo

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Drusy Dolomite Coated Salrose and Malachite specimens 

Salrose, from the French for ‘Salt Rose,’ is a stunning pink mineral from Congo. Often mislabeled as Pink Calcite or Cobalt Calcite, Salrose is usually Cobaltion Dolomite or Calcite. It’s tricky to tell these apart, especially in microcrystalline forms, so Salrose serves as a catch-all term. Specimens can feature Silky Malachite, Chrysocolla, Heterogenite, Kaolinite, and Malachite Spheroids. While some show copper-based minerals, others do not. The mineral’s pink hues come from Cobalt, ranging from soft milky pink to rare, deep gemmy pink.
