Item Description

We have been trying to bring you a variety of the wonderful blue hemimorphites that have been coming from Wenshan over the past year. This very showy plate features the most desirable color and variety. Botryoidal, very close to "electric-blue" hemimorphite covers the crust. These 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.
