Item Description
A very showy combination piece from the classic 79 Mine. The striking stalactite of juicy, turquoise-blue smithsonite is partially covered with glassy, colorless, thin hexagonal pokerchip calcite crystals. More turquoise-blue and different blue-gray smithsonite with more calcite this fine combo from 2003 find at 4 Level of this renowned locale. It looks just like classic Kelly material, but is not. Ex Silvane Collection of Barcelona.
