Smithsonite (Bruce Murphy Coll.)

Item Description

Waxy luster, juicy, translucent gray smithsonite botryoids dramatically and richly preferentially cover the 3-dimensional matrix on this sculptural and uncommon small cabinet from the famous Glove Mine. The botryoids look like pearls of ice or snow draping dark rocks! The highly unusual matrix crust is composed of segmented botryoids of either limonite or coronadite. Choice, showy and rare combination material from the Bruce Murphy Collection.
