Item Description
Gemmy, honey-colored hemimorphite crystals RICHLY cover the upper portion of the matrix and drusy hemimorphite covers the rest on this CLASSIC, OLD-TIME specimen from the Granby Field, Missouri of the famed Tri-State District. The matrix is comprised of tan "drybone" smithsonite and massive hemimorphite. Not pretty to look at, but certainly very highly desirable, old-time material from this well-known locality. Ex George Feist Collection and according to the accompanying label dates to 1925-27.
