Item Description
Rosasite is a less common, but highly desirable zinc, copper carbonate from the famous Mina Ojuela. Striking, pretty, elongated, parallel-growth, teal-blue rosasite botryoids richly cover the sculptural, sturdy, bedded, gossan matrix on this showy and excellent specimen. A rich, large and colorful example of the species from a recent find at this noted locale (found December, 2009).
