Item Description

An amazingly scultpural and color-diverse rosasite specimen from the NEW find at Mina Ojuela (found December, 2009). Most of the rosasite specimens from this find are the light teal-blue botryoids, which cover only a very small portion of the striking, artful vug. The majority of the botryoids are the far less common, velvety dark teal-blue. The gossan crust is very sturdy. A few broken botryoids reveal the lighter colored interiors, which actually adds pazzazz and charactdr to this colorful and dramatic piece. Excellent material from this historic old mine, that just keeps on producing surprisingly fine specimens of a different nature each find.
