Mineral collectors, here is a specimen worth a close look. Clusters of clear, bladed hemimorphite crystals sit on a rusty limonite matrix with touches of mimetite, all from Mexico.
It is a satisfying stone to study up close with a loupe or flashlight, and a natural fit for a cabinet of small specimens or a desk display. For a rock hound, it is the kind of gift that shows you know what they actually collect.
Each numbered option is pictured on its own, so the piece you see is the piece you receive. Clusters are about 1.6 to 2.5 inches wide and weigh about 20 to 50 grams. The name hemimorphite means half shape, because the two ends of each crystal grow differently.
About Hemimorphite
Hemimorphite is a zinc silicate and an ore of zinc, with a hardness of 4.5 to 5. Its crystals are hemimorphic, meaning one end is blunt and the other sharp. Mimetite, the yellow to orange mineral sometimes seen alongside it, contains lead and arsenic.
Stone Meaning: Hemimorphite is traditionally associated with self expression.
