Item Description

Rosasite is a less common, but highly desirable zinc, copper carbonate from the famous Mina Ojuela. Pretty teal-blue rosasite botryoids richly cover the front of the sculptural, vuggy, sturdy, CABINET, gossan matrix on this showy and excellent specimen. The back is richly sprinkled with sparkly, gem-like, colorless, calcite rhombs, which beautifully compliment the rosasite. A rich, large and colorful, large, two-sided example of the species from a NEW FIND at this noted locale (found December, 2009).
