Roselite (classic material) (ex Kay Robertson Collection)

Item Description

Here we have a nice small cabinet / large miniature specimen filled with a druse of sharp, gemmy, lustrous, magenta colored crystals of Roselite measuring up to about 1 mm on host rock matrix. The crystals are beautiful to view up close, so we have photographed the piece with a Canon MP-E 65 mm macro lens to better illustrate the quality. The best Roselites in the world are found at this locality. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#7351). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017).
