Item Description
These cuprian (green) smithsonites have come in a few spurts from this old mine, but Ihave to say I have not yet seen one with calcite association. This nice miniature has a pleasing grass green color. It is complete both sides, and has a silky luster and a velvety look to it. Atop, are sprinkled some strange white calcite crystals. Unusual and interesting! valued $400
