16hhsh.l ((ROSASITE, MALACHITE, GOETHITE)), $12 MINIMUM BID, Hidden Treasure Mine, Tooele County, Utah, 3.5 x 3 x 3 cm, Thumbnail | |
Pretty thumbnail with large botryoidal mounds of dark blue Rosasite. Smaller spheres that have the same overall look as the larger Rosasite are green. The color makes them look like Malachite. Perhaps Malachite pseudo after Rosasite? Lower left exposes that the Rosasite mounds are covering botryoidal mounds of Goethite. Touching the Rosasite mound typically leave finger prints called rubs. ex Solon Hammack collection |
