Item Description

Rosasite is a less common, but highly desirable zinc, copper carbonate from the famous Mina Ojuela. The gorgeous, powder-blue, bubbly, botryoidal rosasite looks like it was poured as molten plastic on the sturdy gossan matrix on this excellent specimen. A very colorful and artful example of the species, with just a tiny bit of rubbing from a recent 2009 find at this noted locale.
