Hemimorphite

Item Description

Gorgeous, light "electric blue" bubbly botryoids of hemimorphite fill the striking vug in sculptural matrix on this fine Chinese specimen. We have been trying to bring you a variety of the wonderful blue hemimorphites that have been coming from Wenshan over the past 5 or 6 years. This color has been the most popular (though hard to get) of them. It is very lustrous - a smithsonite-like luster - and actually slightly translucent. The color in person is even more intense than the pics show. The botryoids are pleasingly dusted with white microcrystals of an unknown mineral. This is a VERY FINE small cab of the species and find.
