Kelly Mine smithsonites are world famous, justifiably, and unique even after decades since their heyday of production. This is actually a very old piece and was in the Pohl collection by the 1960s. The photos speak for themselves - this is simply a gorgeous miniature with the finest translucence and Kelly Mine blue color, that you can ask for. Stunning luster and color make this a miniature that you can see from far away. Dr. Erika Pohl-Ströher - 21627
