Description

Excellent smithsonite miniature, especially for the locality! The piece has light blue color, which is intense for the locality! The luster is very high and the form is not just a collection of spheres! The spheres form stalactitic relief and the piece is really very three dimentional! The piece is very gemmy for the species and really very high quality for the locality!No damage, sawed base.
