Item Description

Pretty sky-blue, translucent, bladed smithsonite botryoids and glassy tiny hemimorphite blades richly cover the 3-dimensional matrix on this aesthetic combination from this well-known zinc mine. Excellent and uncommon material from finds 3-6 years ago. The back has been sawed four times to enhance the considerable display quality, as the piece has two fine display views. Valued by the former dealer at $1200.
