JFD163AO8: Calcite (variety cobalt-bearing)

Alain is an inexhaustible source of French surprises. I bought this cobaltoan 'fried egg' from him in Tucson 2020, very shortly before the world stopped due to the pandemic. When I saw the specimen for the first time I was convinced that it was from the San Carlos mine in Huesca, Spain, It looks so much like the Spanish ones! That it was a former Alain collection piece convinced me to buy it.
