Smithsonite (Wes Parker Coll.)

Item Description

A classic, very showy and sculptural specimen of waxy, translucent, light powder-blue smithsonite botryoids on silicified limestone matrix from the famous Kelly Mine. No damage to this excellent, always desirable material - and it is not the traditional color, but I LIKE that fact about it, given its soft hue and rounded forms as a contrast to the norm that everybody already has. Comes with a custom-made lucite base. Valued at $800-1000. Ex Wes Parker Collection.
