Gemmy, honey-colored hemimorphite crystals richly cover the upper portion of the matrix and drusy hemimorphite covers the rest on this classic, old-time specimen from the Granby Field, Missouri of the famed Tri-State District. The matrix is comprised of tan "dry-bone" smithsonite and massive hemimorphite. Not pretty to look at, but certainly very highly desirable, old-time material from this well-known locality. Ex George Feist Collection and according to the accompanying label dates to 1925-27.
