Item Description

Aurichalcite on Kelly Mine smithsonite is a sought-after classic. Gorgeous, juicy, Kelly-blue botryoids cover this striking, folded, three-sided piece and are sprinkled to peppered with contrasting, blue-green, aurichalcite botryoids. Clusters of colorless, bladed calcite rhombs are a nifty additional accent. Periphery wear is noted, but has minimal impact to this fine and uncommon Kelly Mine combination piece. The smithsonite color and luster is first-class. Valued at $750-1000.
