About this specimen

Yunnan veszelyite at 2.9 cm; a miniature, supplied in the display box shown. Veszelyite in a deep ink blue grows in tufts across a pale crusted matrix, the colour so strong that the crystals read almost black where they cluster thickest.

Veszelyite is a rare hydrated copper-zinc phosphate that forms deep blue to blue-green crystals; the Laochang district of Yunnan is the best-known modern source.

Yunnan's copper and lead-zinc districts produce the azurite, malachite, pyromorphite, hemimorphite and blue aragonite that define Chinese secondary minerals.

The piece is miniature in size, 2.9 × 2.1 × 2.3 cm (1.14 × 0.83 × 0.91 in). Condition is otherwise as photographed.

Copper mineral: avoid dust, wash hands after handling.

Every specimen here is photographed and catalogued individually before listing.
