Hemimorphite from Mexico

Hemimorphite is a unique mineral, with different crystal terminations on each side of a single crystal.

This habit is responsible for Hemimorphite’s name, from the Greek hemi, meaning “half” and morph, meaning shape.

Although this habit is widespread among Hemimorphite crystals, its visibility is usually obscured by one end of the crystal being attached to the matrix.

This particular specimen is splendid all around, with magnificent contrast.
