A highly unusual, 4-sided, cabinet hemimorphite specimen from China. Each side presents a dramatically different view. One side is richly covered with the near "electric-blue" botryoids that are the most popular, thought hard to get. Another side is strikingly vertically segmented, with only a bit of hemimorphite. The other two sides have a more platy appearance. A very colorful and visually striking, large piece.
