Hold a cluster up to a window and many colorless, bladed hemimorphite crystals light up, sitting on a velvety red brown matrix with touches of mimetite. They are small specimens with a lot of detail.
Mexican hemimorphite stands out for its crisp crystals and the contrast with the dark limonite. A specimen like this fits a display case, a desk or a windowsill, and makes a thoughtful gift for a rock hound or geology enthusiast who likes to look closely. You choose the exact cluster from the photos.
Each numbered option is pictured on its own, so the piece you see is the piece you receive. Cluster 01 is about 1 by 2 by 1 inches, 02 about 1.25 by 2.25 by 1.5 inches, 03 about 1.25 by 2 by 1.5 inches and 04 about 1 by 1.75 by 1.25 inches.
About Hemimorphite
Hemimorphite is a zinc silicate and an ore of zinc, with a hardness of 4.5 to 5. Its name refers to its hemimorphic crystals, whose two ends have different shapes. Mimetite, which shares this matrix, is a lead arsenate mineral.
Stone Meaning: Hemimorphite is traditionally associated with self expression.
