Item Description

Shimmering, translucent globes of beautiful seafoam-green smithsonite are aesthetically set on this outstanding thumbnail from the Sam Nasser Thumbnail Collection. This famous and highly desirable small find took place ~2000 at the San Antonio Mine (Level 8) and was unique having this color. This very aesthetic piece has a major bonus, as there are more botryoids on the back! Essentially pristine, as the bruise on the back of the botryoids at the top is totally out-of-sight in the display view. Pieces of this quality from this find are only available from advanced recycled collections.
