About Cobalt-bearing CalciteHide

Formula:
(Ca,Co)CO3
A variety of Calcite

A more or less pink variety of calcite containing Co2+ replacing Ca.
Dark pink varieties are easily confused with spherocobaltite (CoCO3), the cobalt endmember of the calcite group.
Crusts and globular aggregates may be confused with cobalt-bearing aragonite.

Originally described from Vallone stope, Cape Calamita Mine (Calamita Mine), Capoliveri, Elba Island, Livorno Province, Tuscany, Italy.
