Fine thumbnail-sized specimen of deep blue crystals of Veszelyite on sky blue Hemimorphite. Sharply formed, isolated crystals make this one of my favorite specimens I've seen from the find. The crystals reach 6mm in size and are prefect except for a tiny chip on the tip of one crystal. Still, this one is spectacular. Micro greenish/blue crystals of Kipushite, a rare copper and zinc phosphate species, are present on the Hemimorphite. The locality is a former Limestone quarry with Lead, Zinc, and Copper mineralization that closed in 2018.
