A beautiful and fairly new find of blue Hemimorphite from the M'fouati mine in the Congo. The botryoidal Hemimorphite is translucent with a pleasant blue color. Cerussite crystals are present atop the Hemimorphite. Usually colorless, these blue Hemimorphites make showy specimens, and are highly interesting due to the associated minerals.
