Rosasite w/ Calcite (2009 find)

Item Description

Rosasite is a less common, but highly desirable zinc, copper carbonate from the famous Mina Ojuela. The gorgeous, teal-blue rosasite looks like it was poured as molten plastic on the sculptural, sturdy, boot-shaped, gossan matrix on this striking and excellent specimen. The gem-like calcite rhombs covering the top of the "toe" and elsewhere, are a super accent. A very colorful, dramatic and artful example of the combination species from a recent 2009 find at this noted locale.
