Description

Spectacular silvery Smithsonite, my best specimen from this fairly large find that took place several years ago, consisting of a very aesthetic and well displayable, large and high quality specimen from the classic locality. The Smithsonite is highly lustrous and is formed in two different habits, the main one being botryoidal which fills the major part of the gossan matrix and the second habit is prismatic and can be seen in a dense cluster on the top left side. Minor Hydrozincite microcrystals here and there complete beautifully this incredible specimen
