Item Description
Patches of pretty teal-blue, botyroidal, rosasite are tucked into the vugs of the layered, boxwork, gossan matrix on this most striking, sculptural specimen from a NEW FIND at this noted locale (found December, 2009). Rosasite is a less common, but highly desirable zinc, copper carbonate from the famous Mina Ojuela. Colorless fluorite cubes on one end are a nice accent.
