Blue Hemimorphite | Mexico | Zn4(Si2O7)(OH)2·H2O | Blue Hemimorphite Specimen

Hemimorphite gets its name from the word hemimorphic, which describes a crystal that has terminations of different shapes and can be found in bladed or botryoidal form. Typically found near zinc deposits with smithsonite, the two used to be grouped together under the name calamine until it was discovered that they resembled each other. Georgia calls these specific specimens “hemimorfrauds” and the reason why makes these hemimorphite a unique add to your collection.
