Rosasite & Calcite

Item Description

Beautiful and sculptural turquoise-blue rosasite is dramatically crowned by a 2.2 cm on the diagonal, sharp, very glassy, translucent calcite rhomb on this aesthetic combination from the 2009 find at famed Mina Ojuela. Rosasite is a less common, but highly desirable zinc, copper carbonate from Ojuela. The bit of gossan matrix adds contrast and pizzazz to this very showy and excellent two-sided piece.
