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.

Wt: 2.00 oz. (56.5g)
Bou-Azzer Mine, Morocco
One face of the host rock on this specimen is coated with a millimeter thick layer of roselite crystals. The exposed crystals are excellent, with a deep magenta color, quite transparent crystals, and a vitreous luster. These crystals are frequently curved on both their faces and terminations, but a loupe is needed to study their form.
