This rock is host to two surfaces containing crystals of rosalite. Their maroon color is excellent, although under a loupe the color can be seen to vary quite a bit from one crystal to another, some of them being very deep, and others essentially colorless. All have excellent transparency and a vitreous luster, and their forms include many excellent scalenohedrons, although they are rather tiny. Note that the colorless crystals may be calcite - some of them support strongly colored roselite crystals.
