Item Description

A striking and beautiful small cabinet plate covered with bubbly, vivid, turquoise-blue hemimorphite botryoids. 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. These 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 and shimmer in person is much more intense than the pics show.
