It crystallizes in the triclinic-pinacoidal system and typically forms tiny reddish-violet rosettes and crusts, a secondary species produced by the oxidation of cobalt-bearing arsenides and sulfarsenides in the near-surface zone of ore veins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mineral is best known from the historic silver-cobalt veins of the \u003cstrong\u003eSchneeberg district\u003c\/strong\u003e in the \u003cstrong\u003eErzgebirge\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eSaxony\u003c\/strong\u003e, Germany, where it forms as a weathering product of \u003cstrong\u003eglaucodot\u003c\/strong\u003e and as an alteration product of \u003cstrong\u003ecobaltite\u003c\/strong\u003e. Additional occurrences have been documented in the \u003cstrong\u003eCzech Republic\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJapan\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eMorocco\u003c\/strong\u003e.

It is easily mistaken for erythrite, from which it is distinguished mainly by subtle color differences, adding an extra layer of interest for systematic species collectors seeking authenticated, well-labeled examples of this rare mineral.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"fa15-cobaltocoritnigite-1","title":"COBALTOKORITNIGITE – Red and Pink Botryoidal crystals from Bou Azzer, Morocco","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg\u003eNatural Cobaltokoritnigite from Tamdrost Mine, Bou Azzer, Morocco.
