Veszelyite on Hemimorphite from Palabanda quarries, Mfouati, Bouenza Department, Republic of the Congo [db_pics/pics/fm421a.jpg] Veszelyite on Hemimorphite from Palabanda quarries, Mfouati, Bouenza Department, Republic of the Congo [db_pics/pics/fm421b.jpg] Veszelyite on Hemimorphite from Palabanda quarries, Mfouati, Bouenza Department, Republic of the Congo [db_pics/pics/fm421c.jpg]

Fine specimen of deep blue crystals of Veszelyite on sky blue Hemimorphite. The Veszelyite crystals reach 4mm in size almost completely cover the Hemimorphite, though some 'fingers' of Hemimorphite stick up through the veszelyite. The locality is a former Limestone quarry with Lead, Zinc, and Copper mineralization that closed in 2018.

Isolated deep blue crystals of Veszelyite on blue Hemimorphite. The Veszelyite crystals reach 6mm in size. The smaller crystals are sharply formed and the larger crystals are present near the upper right. The Hemimorphite forms a botryoidal surface with a beautiful color contrast to the Veszelyite. Good larger sized example from the find. The locality is a former Limestone quarry with Lead, Zinc, and Copper mineralization that closed in 2018.

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.

The locality is a former Limestone quarry with Lead, Zinc, and Copper mineralization that closed in 2018.
