Hemimorphite

Item Description

An impressive LARGE CABINET 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 vugs on all sides of the boxwork matrix are filled with pretty powder-blue botryoids. It is very lustrous - a smithsonite-like luster - and is actually slightly translucent. The color in person is even more intense than the pics show. I particularly like the hemimorphite spines that course across the front of the piece. They really add pazzazz. This is a striking large specimen of the species and find.
