Ex. Martin Zinn
SOLD

This is an exceptionally rare style of willemite found only once here, and seldom seen available for sale. Deeply saturated, discrete, spherical aggregates of glassy and gemmy, aquamarine-colored willemite (to 7mm) are perched on stalactitic red-brown willemite, accented with rhombs of lustrous white dolomite to 1 mm across. The combination and contrast of two colors of willemite is unique and beautiful. They are lustrous and bright. From the collection of Martin Zinn, sold in 2003.
