Hemimorphite (ex Kay Robertson Collection)

Item Description

An attractive specimen of bright skly blue color botryoidal Hemimorphite on matrix from Wenshan. This material is well known now, and certainly among the most brightly colored and flashy Hemimorphite specimens in recent memory. The brilliant surface combined with the decent overall quality of the piece make it a worthwhile and colorful display specimen. Dealers in China value these specimens highly, and they seem to be coming out in less quantity than they were a year ago. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#12848). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Velt" November-December 2017).
