Hemimorphite

Small Cabinet, 6.5 x 5.1 x 2.8 cm
SOLD
A striking, two-sided Chinese hemimorphite. The "A" side is the "electric blue" botryoids, that have been the most popular (though hard to get) of them. It is very lustrous - a smithsonite-like luster - and actually slightly translucent. The color in person is even more intense than the photo shows. The botryoids are pleasingly dusted with white microcrystals of an unknown mineral. The "B" side has botryoids of a less intense blue color. This is a very fine small cabinet of the species and find.
