Roselite (Fioravanti Coll.)

Item Description

Gorgeous, gemmy and lustrous, magenta roselite crystals to 4 mm are richly and attractively clustered on matrix. Some broken crystals are noted on the fridge of the cluster, but this remains a fine example, with gemmy, isolated crystals. This showy and excellent older piece is from the Giancarlo Fioravanti Collection, who obtained this specimen from well-known Belgian mining engineer/geologist/mineral dealer and collector, Gilbert Gauthier, in Paris in 1974 in an exchange.
