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. The important aspect of this Hemimorphite is the fact that it is NOT opaque, but actually somewhat GEMMY / translucent with good luster! The crystals are pretty attractive up close, and this is undoubtedly one of the few Hemimorphites from this locality that I have seen, especially with this color. Don't miss out on this rare specimen.
