Tiny and featherlight, this Mexican hemimorphite is a natural freeform made for a curio box, a mineral drawer or the corner of a desk.
A small piece is an easy way to add hemimorphite to a collection without giving up shelf space. It fits in your palm, so it also travels well in a pouch or tucks into a gift box with a card. Pair it with other Mexican minerals on a small tray, or keep it with your desk stones as something different from the usual quartz. It suits a new collector, a rockhound building a mineral set, or anyone who likes small, natural specimens over polished shapes.
About Hemimorphite
Hemimorphite is a zinc silicate and an ore of zinc. It forms where the upper parts of sphalerite bearing ore bodies oxidize, usually as crystalline crusts and rounded or reniform masses, and less often as fan shaped crystal clusters. Its name refers to its hemimorphic crystals, whose two ends have different shapes. It comes in white, gray and blue and is about 4.5 to 5 on the Mohs scale.
Stone Meaning: Hemimorphite is traditionally associated with self expression and creativity.
