SOLD
Yes, this is a natural specimen of hemimorphite. This striking, sculptural, large cabinet specimen has vugs on all sides filled with beautiful hemimorphite. The botryoidal surfaces look like molten plastic, and are an intense, deep robin's-egg blue. It is very lustrous - a smithsonite-like luster - and actually slightly translucent. The color in person is even more intense than the photos show.
