A beautiful and fairly new find of blue Hemimorphite from the M'fouati mine in the Congo. Densly packed crystals of blue Hemimorphite cover the matrix. Sprinkled atop the Hemimorphite are 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.
