Hemimorphite (Japan!)

Item Description

Rob recently got his hands on a few VERY RARE Japanese specimens from an old collection, which we are going to put into the auctions. Pretty much anything from Japan is now very hard to obtain, even the more common Japanese "classics" such as rhodochrosite or stibnite. Hemimorphites are even less commonly seen. This is a shallow pocket of frosty crystals in a limonitic matrix. Note the cool, very old labels!
