Cobaltoan Calcite

Cobaltoan Calcite, also known as Aphrodite Stone, is a rare form of calcite colored pink by cobalt. It is typically found as small druzy clusters but can also be cut and polished in some European locations. First discovered in Tuscany, Italy, notable deposits are now found in regions like the Congo, Morocco, Australia, and parts of Europe. This elegant mineral is valued for its delicate hue and limited availability.
