Many isolated crystals of Roselite, without cracks or damage, of good size and luster, and with the “fresh” matrix Calcite showing no etching or corrosion. The size of the piece and its matrix-crystal ratio are in excellent balance, and thus all seems to be in its place in this great piece, and with the intense color of the Roselite being the cherry on the cake.

TC2230ECZ: Roweite with Olshanskyite and Andradite

Aggregates of lamellar Roweite crystals of great size and quality for the species. On matrix, with radial aggregates of colorless, transparent and very lustrous Olshanskyite crystals and small Andradite crystals. The Roweite crystals are well differentiated, have a cream color, with well defined faces and edges. The quality of the specimens is indisputably superior to any previously known, both for the individualization of the crystals and for their sharpness of forms, the size of the crystals and their association with first-rate Olshanskyite, which makes them worthy of being included in the best private and museum collections. We have had the specimens analyzed to confirm the identity of the different species and we will send the buyer a copy of these analyses.

EF89AF9: Roweite with Olshanskyite, Andradite and Calcite

Aggregates of laminar Roweite crystals of great size and quality for what has been known of this species. They are on matrix, with colorless and translucent Olshanskyite crystals and small Andradite crystals. The Roweite crystals, that are well differentiated, have a light creamy color with very well defined faces and edges. The quality of the specimens is undoubtedly superior to what was previously known, both for the individuality of the crystals and for their sharpness, but also for the size of the crystals and their association with first class Olshanskyite which makes them deserving to be in the best private collections and museums. We have analyzed specimens to confirm the identity of the species and we will send a copy of the different species to buyers.

EA89AJ9: Roweite with Olshanskyite, Magnetite and Andradite

If the variation is pleasant, what better than this association of four species, two of them (Roweite and Olshanskyite) very rare? The Roweite is in aggregates of laminar crystals of great size and quality for what has been known for the species, and it is on matrix, with very sharp, clear and colorless Olshanskyite crystals, small Andradite crystals and octahedral Magnetite crystals. The Roweite crystals are neatly differentiated and have well defined faces and edges with a light creamy color. The quality of these specimens is undoubtedly superior to what was previously known, both for the individuality of the crystals and for their sharpness, but also for their association with first level Olshanskyite crystals, which makes them deserving to be in the best private collections and museums. We have analyzed samples to confirm the identity of the different species and we’ll send a copy of the analyses to the buyer.
