Veszelyite on Hemimorphite with Calcite

Unknown Owner
A sparkling plate of blue on blue, copper minerals coexisting aesthetically to display the gorgeous deep blue crystals of the rare mineral species, veszelyite. This is from a 2024 find of this very rare copper/zinc species, a startling combination piece showing off bright glassy veszelyite crystals in extremely rich ribbon-like growths, all perched against sparkling druse of hemimorphite. Sharp sparkle and contrast of colors makes this leap out to the eye.
