Item Description

A striking small cabinet plate covered with bubbly, vivid, "electric-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 year. 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 in person is even more intense than the pics show.
