Outstanding large cabinet-size specimen of gemmy, lustrous, vibrant bright pink Roselite/Wendwilsonite crystals on contrasting white Dolomite matrix from the famous Bou Azzer Mine in Morocco. About as good as it gets for this rare and colorful cobalt mineral. This is from the “best-ever” find for the species around fifteen years ago. Mark Cross photo.
