Item Description
Roscherite is a complex hydrated beryllium phosphate and is very uncommon from the famous pegmatites of Minas Gerais. It is extremely rare in association with a fine yellow-green brazilianite crystal. A very sharply terminated, highly lustrous, transparent to translucent, tabular crystal is aesthetically coated and peppered with tiny, nubby, olive-green, roscherites. Outstanding and rare combination material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock and Mendes Pimental.
