Item Description

We have been trying to bring you a variety of the wonderful blue, botryoidal hemimorphites that have been coming from Wenshan over the past couple of years. This sculptural CABINET specimen is composed of very pretty sky-blue botryoids. It is very lustrous - a smithsonite-like luster - and actually slightly translucent. A bit of periphery wear is noted, but is a very modest detraction. The color in person is even more intense than the pics show.
