This Wenshan hemimorphite is really special. The plate of botryoidal hemimorphite itself is a pretty shade of sky blue. But what makes it unique is that you can see on it a sprinkling of crystals of the rare hydrated copper zinc phosphate veszelyite (zinc is a component of both hemimorphite and veszelyite; veszelyite also has a copper component) .
