Cobaltoan dolomite crystal, vivid pink dolomite with malachite, natural mineral specimen from kipushi, collector crystal

• One-off natural mineral specimen. You will receive the exact piece shown in the photos. • Selected for colour, form and display appeal. Once sold, it will not be restocked.

• Photographed under neutral lighting to show accurate colour and clarity.

A vivid cobalt-pink dolomite crystal with a natural cavity full of sharp, saturated crystals, set on pale matrix with green malachite. The colour is intense even in normal daylight, so it reads as a bright pink focal point rather than a pale blush. It is a solid, self-standing piece that shows the pink pocket clearly from the front on a shelf or display stand.

This specimen comes from the Kipushi Mine in the DRC, a classic locality for cobalt-bearing dolomite. Good Kipushi pieces are now much harder to source in this size and grade. The pink crystals in this piece are unusually rich and well defined, with crisp terminations and strong contrast against the soft matrix. It works both as an eye-catching display for a mineral cabinet and as a single statement piece for an altar or healing space.

Cobalt-rich pink dolomite is often linked to the heart chakra and emotional healing. It is associated with compassion, resilience, and gentle but steady emotional support.
