Hemimorphite

Item Description

A STRIKING, two-sided Chinese hemimorphite. We have been trying to bring you a variety of the wonderful blue hemimorphites that have been coming from Wenshan over the past year. The "A" side is the "electric blue" botryoids, 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 color in person is even more intense than the pics show. The botryoids are pleasingly dusted with white microcrystals of an unknown mineral. The "B" side has botryoids of a less intense blue color. This is a VERY FINE small cab of the species and find.
