SOLD
This is an extraordinarily large and rich specimen of MEXICAN rosasite, not Tsumeb as you might first think at a glance! The limonite matrix hosts blue-green spheres of rosasite, to around .5 cm, nestled in a vug. Colorless and lustrous crystals of hemimorphite, to .5 cm, are coated with a rosasite veneer. The combination of rust colored limonite, blue-green rosasite and colorless hemimorphite make for a lovely color palette. Note this can be trimmed to a very nice, even more balanced small cabinet if desired
