Description:Some of the world''s finest Hemimorphite specimens have come from the Santa Eulalia area in Mexico. These specimens are some of the most aesthetic and eye catching pieces from this locality. This specimen features dozens of VERY good sized, gemmy/translucent, sharp, lustrous, individual prismatic crystals of Hemimorphite (some of which have formed rarely seen "pinwheel"-shaped crystal groups) meausring up to 3.3 cm across on gossan matrix. For the size, quality and overall aesthetics of this specimen, it is a great Mexican display piece from this classic locality. Valued at $1800 in the collection of Richard A. Kosnar.
