The miniature specimen has a small cluster of scalenohedral pink crystals of cobaltoan calcite in association with a deep olive green puff ball of kolwezite. The scalene crystals are pointed sharp, the pink is gentle pale turkish delight pink, not bold magenta. The two complete crystals present as twin peaks. The prominent calcite crystal measures 1.6cm and the kolwezite measures 1.1cm. Overall a very aesthetic specimen in my opinion.,
