Cobaltoan Calcite from the Katanga Copper Crescent of the Democratic Republic of Congo is a cobalt-bearing variety of calcite known for its vivid natural pink coloration and diverse crystal habits. Formed in copper-cobalt deposits, these specimens are associated with malachite and related copper minerals. Often called the Stone of Joy, these pieces are valued both for their geological character and their presence.
