Item Description

A striking multi-level Chinese hemimorphite. We have been trying to bring you a variety of the wonderful blue hemimorphites that have been coming from Wenshan over the past couple of years. The upper vug on this fabulous, layered boxwork matrix holds 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 pics show. The middle vug and the bottom face are lined with pretty powder-blue botryoids. This is a very fine and aesthetic small cab of the species and find.
