A gorgeous specimen of bright sky-blue Rosasite grading to turquoise-blue from the Tsumeb mine in Namibia. The Rosasite appears to have formed as two successive generations, with a patchy micro-botryoidal habit deposited over a larger-sized botryoidal continuous coverage. Scattered across the Rosasite are micro-crystals of colourless to milky-white glassy Cerussite crystals and towards some edges, micro-acicular deep green Malachite. A very aesthetic and pretty Tsumeb Rosasite.
