Hemimorphite

Item Description

Elegant sprays of translucent, glassy, clear to white Hemimorphite crystals set on a contrasting earthy ochre Limonite matrix. The elongated blades up to 2.7 cm long stack together to form vertical fans give the piece a three dimensionality providing that classic look for Hemimorphite specimens from Santa Eulalia. The lustrous Hemimorphites are accented by a secondary coating of light honey colored tiny Calcite crystals that have moderate pale yellow fluorescence. The piece is in excellent condition with minimal edge contacting. A jewel of a Hemimorphite specimen highlighted by multiple divergent sprays, good balance and a pleasing visual appearance. Ex. Kurt Hefendehl Collection.
