This cabochon of pale blue Hemimorphite has slight patterns. Hemimorphite was originally named calamine but this name had been used for another mineral and Hemimorphite was proposed and is now in wide spread use. The hemi means half while the morph means shape and thus Hemimorphite is aptly named. Only a few other minerals show hemimorphic character such as tourmaline, but none show it as well as Hemimorphite.
