2.7" Rosasite and Malachite on Ferroan Dolomite - Morocco
This colorful specimen contains small clusters of bright blue-green rosasite interspersed with green fibrous malachite on a bed of dark purplish ferroan dolomite.
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.
