Item Description

Pretty light sky-blue translucent smithsonite botryoids accented with glassy tiny hemimorphite blades richly and aestheticaly cover the sculptural vuggy matrix on this excellent combination from this well-known zinc mine. Rich and uncommon material from finds 3-6 years ago. The base has been sawed to enhance the considerable display quality. The noted periphery wear/contacting on the lower center is certainly only a modest detraction to this very showy combination.The botryoids are nicely visible along the left edge, too. Valued by the former dealer at $1000.
