Roselite is a beautifully colored mineral and varies from rose-red to pink. It would be a misguided assumption that its name came from its color.
In fact it is named for a Germany eighteenth century mineralogist, Gustav Rose. The color of roselite comes from the same coloring agent of many different colorful minerals, namely cobalt.
