Rosebery Mine, Rosebery, Rosebery district, Tasmania, Australia
Latitude: 41°46'59"S
Longitude: 145°31'0"E
Longitude: 145°31'0"E
The ore is a volcanic-related (Mt. Read volcanics), sediment-hosted, pyrite-rich massive sulphide, with numerous discrete orebodies, but no gossans. There has been some overprinting by Devonian mineralisation, related to an underlying granite intrusion.
Mineralogically, it is best known for its vein minerals, mostly barite and other barium minerals, plus rhodochrosite and boulangerite.
