Draped on a limonite matrix are surprisngly thick botryoids of velvety, rich, intensely TEAL-BLUE rosasite, in balls to 3 cm across. Superb color, velvety luster, and an overall undulating, flowing form that is quite aesthetic make this a world class rosasite specimen. Most rosasites are small crystals, smears on rock, or pseudomorphs. This pocket, however, produced some of the very best I have seen to date for the species - AND the color is intense so one could love it, without even caring about the larger context of rarity
