Pink cobalto calcite is a cobalt-rich variety of calcite composed of calcium carbonate, with color ranging from soft pink to vivid magenta depending on cobalt content.
It forms in hydrothermal environments within cobalt-bearing deposits and is collected for its strong color, which results from cobalt replacing calcium in the mineral structure.
