Item Description

A attractive specimen of bright sky blue color botryoidal Hemimorphite aggregates on matrix from Wenshan. This material is well known now, and certainly among the most brightly colored and flashy Hemimorphite specimens in recent memory. The slightly velvety surface combined with the good overall quality of the piece make it a worthwhile and colorful display specimen. Dealers in China value these specimens highly, and they seem to be coming out in less quantity than they were a year ago.
