Smithsonite (classic locale) ex Wes Parker Coll.

Item Description

A very scultpural vug in sturdy gossan matrix is filled with sparkly, multi-hued green, smithsonite microcrystals in bubbly, botryoidal form. This showy piece is from the famed mines at Laurium, Greece and is probably old. A very highly representative specimen from this historic locale. The Laurium mines were called "ancient" in the time of the Classical Greeks! Ex Wes Parker Collection.
