PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Selected Crystalline Salrose Cobaltion Dolomite 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.
