Here's a specimen with a little history behind it. Basically read the accompanied label as it is from Leo Rosenhahn himself - the guy they named the mineral after. And to further this, the specimen was analyzed by Adolf Pabst. I like what the label says about the mineral never being found in place. It was found as float. May not be true now. It is slightly fluorescent orange.
