Just a superb display specimen of the top quality color and luster you can ask for from old Kelly Mine material: extremely lustrous and translucent, rich, sky blue smithsonite. The overall effect of this curving, completely covered surface area is mesmerizing. This is a choice small cabinet sized specimen of one of the great classics of US mines, at a price which doesn't break the bank (but I think it is worth more!)
