This flowerlike cluster is a super example of Sterling Hill hemimorphite: a brilliantly lustrous, sparkling plate of stark white hemimorphite, from this classic and important locale. Probably one of the most sparkly, daylight-pretty Sterling Hill minerals you can get, for that matter. The quality of this small cab cannot be overstated - for the mine, its excellent. But even on a worldwide basis, it compares very favorably to Mexican material thought by most collectors to rank highest for this particular habit of the species, among display specimens. It is a stunning piece: though color-challenged it is nevertheless impactful. Ex. George Elling Collection
