Two small specimens of crystalline,
carmine red wendwilsonite, the largest measuring 1.3 cm
across. Best appreciated under magnification - hand lens,
microscope or camera lens. Strongly resembles the more
common roselite - Ca2 Co(AsO 4 ) 2 ·2H 2 O,
but my supplier assures me analysis of this material
reveals it is wendwilsonite - Ca2Mg(AsO4)2·2H2O.
