White Hydrozincite Cluster
Description
A natural cluster of white hydrozincite, a uncommon secondary zinc carbonate mineral that forms near the Earth’s surface in the oxidized zones of zinc deposits. This specimen originates from Namibia, a locality known for producing well-formed secondary minerals that grow slowly in fractures and cavities where air, water, and mineral-rich rock interact. Valued by collectors for its distinctive growth habit and soft, chalky to lightly crystalline texture, this piece shows layered, organic formation with subtle variation from opaque to gently translucent white.
Hydrozincite is believed to promote tranquility, reduce stress, and instill a sense of peace.

Note
All crystals and ceramic works offered by Atelier Lithic are inherently unique. Variations in size, colour, surface texture, and form are natural and should be expected.
Crystals are natural materials formed in the earth and may include surface irregularities such as natural fissures, internal veils, growth marks, contact points from where the crystal was attached to the host rock, or areas where the specimen was mined or extracted. These features are part of the crystal’s natural formation and are not considered defects. Defects are disclosed within the item description.
For crystals:
- When a listing includes numbered options (for example, 001, 002, etc.), each number corresponds to a specific crystal shown in the photos. Selecting a number means you will receive that exact crystal.
- When a crystal is shown as a group or range and sold as a quantity of one without numbered options, the images represent examples of what is available. You will receive one crystal, selected from the group, with natural variation.
For ceramics:
- All ceramic pieces are one of a kind. Unless otherwise stated, you will receive the exact piece shown in the listing photos.
If you ever want confirmation before purchasing, feel free to reach out. We're always happy to clarify or provide additional images.
