Item Description
Rosasite is relatively uncommon from the famous Mina Ojuela of Mexico and to find an excellent example is rare, indeed. This sculptural, vuggy, CABINET specimen features vugs richly lined with botryoids of vivid blue-green rosasite on the sturdy gossan matrix and superbly and richly accented with glassy, water-clear calcite rhombs. Seldom available in this combination quality. Older material from the Jaime Bird Collection and valued at $600-700.
