Hemimorphite (rare blue color)

Item Description

A beautiful and certainly uncommon blue color Hemimorphite from the renowned copper deposit at Kimbedi in the Congo. Typically, Hemimorphite is colorless, and I have only seen blue Hemimorphite like this from a few world localities. This piece features wonderfully good quality, soft sky blue crystals of Hemimorphite on gossan matrix. The crystals are a bit gemmy when backlit, and look great under magnification. There have only been a few pockets of these specimens to come out over the last decade, and this is a good example of this attractive, hard to find material.
