Rosasite on Malachite over Mimetite
Tsumeb
Otjikoto Region, Namibia
5.3 x 4.4 x 3.2 CM (small cabinet/ large miniature)
price: $390
Early summer 2021

A choice example of Rosasite from Tsumeb, this is formed on and next to Malachite which has formed over Mimetite. Several Mimetite crystals have also formed on top of the Rosasite, adding a nice color contrast. The central "tower" of botryoidal Rosasite is about 2.5 CM (inch) tall, with a velvet luster that gives a nice focus to the specimen. Tsumeb is unquestionably the locality that has best mixed many beautiful secondary minerals of diverse elements, habits and forms.
