Smithsonite, Cerussite

Kelly Mine, Magdalena Mining District, Socorro County, New Mexico, USA

10,1×7,5×5,2 cm.

Sky blue color Smithsonite with evident botryoidal habit and 3-dimensional display; normally from Kelly mine botryoidal growth is on flat plates and this piece represents a rare exception, in addition small white Cerussite crystals are present for an unusual association; ultimately, for aesthetics and combination, this specimen can be considered highly representative.
