Item Description

Ankerite is RARE from the famous and ancient Kamariza Mines. This exceptional, highly sculptural, 3-dimensional specimen features fantastic bubbly, botryoidal, translucent, sparkly, colorless smithsonite, that has been included-with and coated-with brown ankerite. Strikingly, a second generation of glassy white smithsonite coats some of the botryoids! Rare and outstanding combination material from the Robert Rybnicky Collection. Value of such a rarity to the locality or species collector?
