Hemimorphite

Item Description

A colorful and attractive specimen of rich sky-blue color botryoidal hemimorphite aggregates on a thin crust of matrix from Wenshan. This material is well known now, and is certainly among the most brightly colored and flashy hemimorphite specimens in recent memory. The velvety surface combined with the good overall quality of the piece make it a worthwhile and beautiful display piece. Dealers in China value these specimens highly, and they seem to be coming out in less quantity than they were a couple of years ago. It looks like fine Kelly smithsonite. Striking.
