Item Description
Veszelyite is a rare phosphate and this fine and showy, large, multi-hued blue specimen is from a NEW 2011 find. Translucent, euhedral, teal-blue vezelyite richly covers the vuggy crust of powder-blue hemimorphite. Beautiful combo from a recent find! The amount of veszelyite on the hemimorphite is far greater, than the 2008 find of this mineral here - from which not many specimens were recovered and now are quite pricey. This is a very rich, very large piece. valued $1200-1500
