Item Description

Rosasite is a less common, but highly desirable zinc, copper carbonate from the famous Mina Ojuela. Pretty powder-blue and teal-blue rosasite botryoids are festooned on the sculptural, vuggy, sturdy gossan matrix on this showy and excellent specimen. A rich, large and colorful, two-sided example of the species from a NEW FIND at this noted locale. (found December, 2009)
