Item Description

Very pretty, teal-blue, botryoidal and banded rosasite richly covers the matrix on this excellent specimen from the NEW find at Mina Ojuela. This showy piece is nicely accented with 5 or 6, water-clear, gypsum blades. A bit of contacting is noted, but this remains a fine and showy example of the combination species for the find. The back of the very sturdy gossan matrix has been sawed to enhance the display quality.
