Hemimorphite (rare locality specimen) (ex Kay Robertson and Collection)

Item Description

A very hard to find specimen of Hemimorphite from Leadville (possibly from the Wolftone Mine or the Ibex Mine) featuring small, white, radiating micro crystals of Hemimorphite on matrix. Hemimorphites from Leadville are virtually impossible to obtain, and if you collect minerals of Colorado or secondary ore minerals, do not miss out on this worthwhile and eye-catching miniature. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#7723). 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 Welt" November-December 2017).
