Item Description

We have been trying to bring you a variety of the wonderful blue hemimorphites that have been coming from Wenshan over the past year. Here is a BIG plate of intense robins-egg color - this was always the prime color over past years for these Wenshan specimens. The recent "electric blue" ones are pretty extraordinary as well, but these are great too, with a color very similar to Kelly Mine smithsonite (though with a sugary, sparkly luster).
