Smithsonite

Item Description

Kelly Mine smithsonites have long set the standard for color in blue smithsonite, and classic specimens with this sugary luster date from the heyday of the mine (up to the 1970s, lets say). This specimen has a rolling surface of uniform blue color, with the slight secondary coating that gives it a sugary sparkle so desired by collectors. I would rat ethe color as 90th percentile, certainly respectable! And the piece is pristine on the display face, too. Hefty in mass, at 428 grams
