Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare, old time example of hemimorphite from this seldom referenced locality!!! This specimen hosts a dense cluster of intergrown groups of
hemimorphite crystals that exhibit a handsome sky-blue color!!! The crystals have marked luster and translucence!!! This is old material and
likely dates to the late 19th century!!! The color
is quite similar to the famous leadhillite crystals found in the same locality in 1895!!! The matrix hosts a small amount of galena and some
small areas of altered galena that have micro-cerussite crystals upon close inspection!!! Rare, old time material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
