Item Description

A variety of wonderful blue, botryoidal hemimorphites have been coming from Wenshan. This is very close to the "electric blue" ones that have been the most popular of them. It is very lustrous - a smithsonite-like luster - and actually slightly translucent. The sculptural, vuggy box-work matrix filled with hemimorphite is striking.
