A beautiful and fairly new find of blue Hemimorphite from the M'fouati mine in the Congo. The botryoidal hemimorphite grows on Willemite radial aggregates. There are also hydrozincite, Cerussite, and micro green-yellow crystals of what is probably Mimetite. Usually colorless, these blue Hemimorphites make showy specimens, and are highly interesting due to the associated minerals.
