The mineral's color varies from light pink to a more intense pink, influenced by the cobalt content. It forms in environments where cobalt is present, often alongside other minerals like dolomite, malachite, and heterogenite. The mineral can be found in hydrothermal veins, metasomatic deposits, and sedimentary manganese deposits, especially in locations where manganese and cobalt are part of the geological setting.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT COLOUR\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePink, Green, White\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT DATA \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLocality = Mashamba West, Congo\u003cbr\u003eGrade = Good to Very Good Grade\u003cbr\u003eSize = 223 x 256 x 86 mm \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CALCITE - Rhodocalcite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50291891634369,"sku":"184-452-260603BM","price":5726.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2066\/6451\/files\/184452_4.jpg?v=1780663006","url":"https:\/\/www.toprocks.com\/products\/natural-xl-ultra-rare-cobaltion-rhodocalcite-specimen-x-1-from-mashamba-west-congo","provider":"Toprock Gemstones and Minerals ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
