Hydrozincite from Aberllyn Mine, Wales

Hydrozincite from Aberllyn Mine, Betws-y-coed, Conwy, Wales, UK

Specimen pieces of hydrozincite from Aberllyn Mine, Wales.

I would like to make it extremely clear that I do not like hydrozincite. It's an incredibly fragile material that you can pretty much crush between your fingers - this makes it very difficult to mount. It also sheds powder easily.

It's difficult to measure, too, and as a result I've decided not to.

These pieces are therefore sold by a rough size only, as to attempt to measure them would likely cause damage.
