Blue Hemimorphite in Botryoidal Form from Mindouli, Republic of the Congo

SKU: B_36_0064

A very aesthetic specimen of hemimorphite with an intense blue color. The surface of the mineral exhibits a botryoidal habit, which in this case is densely covered with fine crystalline druse. This formation causes the specimen to sparkle under point light, distinguishing it from the smooth, matte varieties from this region. Main Features: Intense blue; botryoidal habit with druse; a classic from Mindouli. Condition: Good. The crystalline surface is mostly intact, although minor mechanical dulling can be observed on some of the most exposed peaks of the clusters.
