Item Description

A rich crust of beautiful, translucent, powder-blue hemimorphite botryoids envelopes three sides of this very colorful piece from Katanga. The botryoids have a very nice partial frosting of white, drusy hemimorphite. A gorgeous small cabinet with vivid color and nice form. The bruise on the left side is out-of-sight in the display view. This is excellent older, rare at the time, material, not from the recent new find. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock and valued by him at $300, five or more years ago.
