Description

Hemimorphite
Unknown Locality
3.26 x 2.61 x 1.80 inches (8.27 x 6.63 x 4.57 cm)

This Hemimorphite specimen presents rounded, botryoidal formations in a vivid blue to blue-green coloration, resting on a contrasting tan matrix. The surface texture is finely granular to subtly crystalline, giving the specimen a soft luster while preserving the mineral's natural growth forms. Hemimorphite typically forms in the oxidized zones of Zinc deposits, where such botryoidal habits are especially prized by collectors. The saturated color and sculptural contours combine to create a visually striking and well-balanced mineral display piece.
