Item Description
Since we are featuring several hemimorphite specimens of different varieties in this set of auctions, we figured we would also include on of these cool cupric aragonite specimens that came from Wenshan recently. They have the look of sea coral (and in fact are not chemically very different at all), though were formed stalactitically rather than by little sea animals! The color is a wonderful sky-blue, from the copper content.
