Item Description

Beautiful, juicy, waxy, kelly-blue, smithsonite botryoids cover the thin crust on this very pretty small cabinet from the ancient mines at Lavrion. The bit of periphery wear is certainly a modest detraction. It looks just like top-quality Kelly Mine smithsonite, but its not! It glows, when brightly lit.
