A striking natural mineral specimen featuring vivid pink-red Erythrite, also commonly known as Cobalt Bloom, occurring across a contrasting brown and pale mineral matrix.
The Erythrite produces wonderfully intense raspberry, crimson and magenta tones, with sparkling crystalline areas that become particularly vibrant under direct light. Different faces reveal scattered patches and concentrations of the colourful mineralisation throughout the host rock.
Erythrite is a naturally occurring cobalt arsenate mineral best known for its distinctive pink to crimson colouring.

Disclaimer: Gemstone identification is based on visual assessment only, considering colour, pattern, translucency, lustre and other observable characteristics. Stones have not been laboratory tested unless explicitly stated. Whilst every effort has been made to identify each gemstone accurately, identification should be considered our best professional opinion rather than a certified mineralogical determination. Natural gemstones vary in colour, pattern and inclusions, making every piece unique. Metaphysical properties are based on traditional beliefs and are not scientifically proven.
