A BIG, RICH specimen of sparkling blue hemimorphite from China! This material is prized not only by collectors, but also by the Chinese dealers themselves it seems, from the very high prices they charge for it; compared to so many minerals from China, these are just not common, and people fight over them. You do not see many of this size and richness around for sale!
