About this specimen

Yunnan hydrozincite at 6.3 cm; a small cabinet piece. The supplier did not record a weight. Fragile; keep dry.

Hydrozincite is a zinc carbonate that forms white crusts and is best known for its strong blue-white fluorescence under short-wave UV.

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

By size it is small cabinet, 6.1 × 4.2 × 6.3 cm (2.40 × 1.65 × 2.48 in). Otherwise the piece is sold exactly as photographed.

Every specimen here is photographed and catalogued individually before listing.
