Small miniature of creamy carbonate rock with numerous drusies fully lined with pink/lilliac roselite crystals of very good quality. The transparency of roselite is very good, to the point of gemminess, and most crystals are sharp, lustrous, and in great conditions. 

Elegant, contrastful and quite rich. Purchased at the Munich mineral show in 2006, in my collection ever since
