Description

The piece comes from a find of smithsonite around seven years ago. However, only a few had those colors! This one is the best because of the aesthetics! It looks like rotting, some kind of decomposition due to infection, because of different layers of smithsonite that have different colors! The luster varies and is very pleasant! No damage and only marginal contacting! Superb piece!
