Item Description
Juicy, very wet-look, translucent, multi-hued, smithsonite botryoids with a nubby texture are aesthetically clustered on this showy and excellent crust from the classic Kelly Mine. Colors range from a beautiful sea-foam green to yellow-gray to blue-gray. Ex Harold Urish Collection. He calls this the "turkey fat type" and was obtained in a trade with Tony Otero, well-known miner, dealer and mine guardian at the Kelly, in October, 1993. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
