A beautiful large 3-dimensional knob of classic “Kelly blue” smithsonite from the iconic Kelly mine in Magdalena New Mexico. Great color and in good condition as seen. Good cabinet-size Kelly smithsonites have become quite hard to find on the market in recent years, and this is a fine example that displays well from multiple sides. Ex.
