Hemimorphite

Item Description

We have been trying to bring you a variety of the wonderful blue, botryoidal hemimorphites that have been coming from Wenshan over the past couple of years. This fine CABINET piece is very close to the "electric blue" ones that have been the most popular (though hard to get) of them. It is very lustrous - a smithsonite-like luster - and actually slightly translucent. The vuggy, parallel boxwork on the back and base is facinating! A bit of brusing is noted, but is a modest detraction to this stunning specimen. The color in person is even more intense than the pics show.
