About this specimen
Sky-blue hemimorphite crowns the top third of this Yunnan wedge and stops dead where the dark rock begins. The crust underneath is botryoidal and saturated blue; over it sit dozens of radiating fans, each one a spray of fine needles that pales from blue at the root to nearly white at the tips. Below the colour line the matrix is a tapering brown-black wedge, iron-stained and rough.
Hemimorphite is a zinc silicate, Zn4Si2O7(OH)2·H2O, formed in the oxidised upper levels of zinc deposits — which is exactly why it arrives sitting on weathered iron-rich rock like this, and trace copper picked up from the same zone is what tints it blue. At Mohs 4.5–5 the needle fans are the delicate part: never brush them, never soak the piece, and lift it by the matrix wedge.
8.1 × 5.6 × 4.1 cm and 113 g, held in the photographs so the crest can be judged against a hand. This is the exact piece offered — there is only one of it.
