Item Description
A very aesthetic hemimorphite from Santa Eulalia. The two diverging, intergrown, bladed sprays and individual crsytals form a striking specimen. The luster and glassiness are first-class and the preferential included pink hematite really adds pazzazz. The stepped-growth fronts of the parallel-growth blades are noteworthy. Complete all-around and essentially prisitine. A noteworthy find, as even the orebody (Oxide-zinc) and mine level (16th) are known. Classic and most excellent Santa Eulalia hemimorphite from the Potosi Mine. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
