This colorful specimen contains a cluster of sharp selenite crystals, associated with small blue-green, fibrous rosasite crystals aggregates, collected from the Ojuela Mine in Durango, Mexico. The rosasite formed in fibrous spheres that resemble small botryoidal masses, seemingly bubbling from the limonitic matrix.

This specimen comes with an acrylic display stand.

Rosasite is a secondary mineral that forms in oxidation zones of copper-zinc deposits, generally forming a fibrous botryoidal sphere that can appear vitreous and silky. While typically featuring a blue-green color, colorless specimens are not unheard of. The chemical formula of rosasite is CuZnCO3(OH)2.
