About this specimen

Yunnan veszelyite at 4.9 cm; a miniature. A broad grey and tan rock carries veszelyite in deep blue across its ridges, with softer turquoise-green patches filling the hollows between them.

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, 4.9 × 2.3 × 4.2 cm (1.93 × 0.91 × 1.65 in). Condition is otherwise as photographed.

Copper mineral: avoid dust, wash hands after handling.

Specimens are photographed and catalogued one at a time before they reach this page.
