Hemimorphite is a mineral that belongs to the zinc silicate family. It is often referred to as “calamine” due to its similarity in appearance to the mineral used in calamine lotion. Hemimorphite gets its name from the Greek words “hemi” meaning half and “morph” meaning shape, as its crystals often display asymmetric growth patterns. Most hemimorphite is white, gray, colorless, or brown. Rare specimens with nice crystals and spectacular yellow, bluish green, or bright blue colors are popular with mineral collectors. It is also cut into cabochons and beads for gemstone collectors and jewelry. This mineral has been found in various locations around the world, including the United States, Mexico, Australia, China, and Namibia. Some notable localities include the Mapimí Mine in Mexico, the Ojuela Mine in Mexico, and the Tsumeb Mine in Namibia.
