SOLD
An OLD-TIME, CLASSIC, excellent and very showy specimen of botryoidal, yellow, smithsonite on lustrous, translucent, purple fluorite from the famous Sheshodonnell East Mine, Carron, The Burren, County Clare, Ireland. A bit of periphery damage to the fluorite on one end is certainly not detracting. This fine 100 plus year old piece was in the collection of the well-known dealer/collector Al McGuinness. I have only once before seen a combo piece like this for sale. very old materia, and hard to come by! 5.1 x 4.3 x 2.5 cm
