Mohs hardness of 4.5 to 5.
- History: Gustav Adolf Kenngott, a Swiss mineralogist, named Hemimorphite in 1853. Its name comes from the Greek words hemi - meaning half and morphê - meaning shape.
- Metaphysical Properties: Hemimorphite is believed to be a stone of empathy and encourages love and compassion in those who wear it. It is associated with the zodiacal sign of Libra and benefits the heart, crown and third eye chakras.
