Item Description

A classic and eye-catching small cabinet specimen featuring many gemmy, beautiful, translucent, sharp, intense fuchsia-pink colored crystals of Roselite meauusring up to 4 mm sitting on a layer of very desirable purplish-pink Cobaltoan Calcite on matrix. The Aghbar Mine has produced the FINEST specimens of Roselite ever found, and arguably the best Cobalotan Calcites as well. Nearly every Roselite on the specimen is undamaged though there is a bit of roughness along the periphery of the Calcite where it was removed from the pocket wall. Priced at $950 from years ago in the inventory.
