Smithsonite & Hemimorphite

Item Description

Shimmering, pretty sky-blue, translucent, bladed smithsonite aggregates and botryoids are attractively scattered on the rolling matrix covered with dense sprays of glassy tiny hemimorphite blades on this aesthetic combination from this well-known zinc mine. Excellent and uncommon material from finds 3-6 years ago. The bit of noted bruising to the smithsonites is certainly only a modest detraction. The back has been sawed four times to enhance the considerable display quality, as the piece has four fine display views. Valued by the former dealer at $1200.
