AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The specimen consists of botryoidal and radial aggregates of blue to blue-green hemimorphite covering the matrix. The hemimorphite shows both fine crystalline zones and compact globular formations. Green malachite occurs as microcrystalline coatings and small botryoidal clusters dispersed across the surface and within cavities.
The piece is intact overall, with natural surface textures and minor contact areas typical for material from this locality.
This specimen comes from a reputable source and has not been altered or treated in any way—what you see is its natural form. The photos are taken under daylight-equivalent LED lighting to show the specimen as accurately as possible. Please note: some colors can be difficult to capture accurately in photographs. I do my best to present the specimen faithfully.
All items are professionally packed and shipped with tracking. I have many years of experience in international mineral sales and strive to provide accurate descriptions and high-quality service. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I'm happy to help.
