Description
Cobaltoan Calcite [calcium carbonate, CaCO3], also known as Cobalt Calcite, cobalto calcite, or cobaltocalcite, and Aphrodite Stone, is an uncommon variety of Calcite that has been infused with small amounts of the accessory element cobalt that imparts a distinctive, bright, pink-magenta color. Usually the amount of Cobalt within determines how pink the stone is. You’ll most likely see this mineral in tiny druzy clusters over matrix. It has a Mohs hardness of 3.0
METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES: Metaphysical practitioners believe that cobaltoan calcite is a calming stone that fills the heart with love, heals inner-child hurts, relieves anxiety and stress, and overcomes fear of nightmares.
This Cobaltoan calcite specimen is a great example of this beautiful mineral. It features great color, and sparkle.
