Roselite

Item Description

A rich, small cabinet piece with sharp, deep cherry-red crystals of the rare species Roselite. The crystals here show unusual separation, which allows a much greater appreciation of their quality and beauty. The individual crystals have excellent luster, great color, and are gemmy throughout. The crystals range up to 7 mm in length. The arsenate Roselite is a very close cousin of Wendwilsonite (named after Min Rec editor Wendell Wilson), and in fact they are indistinguishable without testing. This is the best deep cherry, lustrous as can be. MUCH better in person. Originally priced at $4,500 from dealer Victor Yount, this is a rich and beautiful specimen..
