These gorgeous hemimorphites are highly sought-after, and because they come out only in small quantities, they are prized by the Chinese and priced highly. This is a LARGE specimen with a really beautiful "sand-drip" quality to it (stalactitic growth). Wonderful 3-dimensionality compared to a flat "plate." It has really fine robin's-egg blue color. A big, rich specimen of a very desirable Chinese mineral!
