The incredibly blue Ojuela hemimorphites have been revealed as fakes, but these Chinese ones are the real deal. A stunning miniature with interesting surface features accompanied by botroidal hemispheres. Ken was very well known for the Chinese material he would source, and the fact that he kept this one speaks volumes. Ex Ken Roberts collection.
