Item Description
Classic Kelly Mine greenish-blue color saturation on bubbly smithsonite botryoids with waxy lustre surfaces. This showy miniature crust also hosts aurichalcite on one side and the bottom, a typical accessory. The bit of periphery wear is certainly acceptable in the context of this piece. Rich color on this fine translucent specimen from the Robert Fender Collection, dating to the 1960s or 70s. The specimen really looks better in person, as the photography had a hard time in capturing the true Kelly blue color.
