Item Description
A very large and impressive specimen that has obvious visual impact, and is a very beautiful plate with intense blue color. From an older collection, so at a guess it is from mining here prior to the more modern recoveries in the 90s. The overall "look" of the crystals is as if they were velvety, but again this is a large plate for the style, seldom seen. Valued $900-1200. ex Webb collection
