A variety of wonderful blue hemimorphites have been coming from Wenshan over the past year. This fine, two-sided piece is very close to the "electric blue" ones that 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 photos show.
