Recently, amongst a good supply of blue hemimorphite specimens from China, there have been a few specimens of electric blue such as have never been seen before, from anywhere. This one, despite being speckled with tiny balls of an unidentified mineral, is very close to having that amazing color. Its overall aesthetics are fine too: it is a tall pocket richly filled with botryoidal forms.
