Description

This is a very different piece! White smithsonite is very rare, when the color is opaque and not just colorless, which is named "silver"! This is beige smithsonite and not whitish yellow, the yelowish color is from irn oxides.One can clean those, but those are visible under the gem calcite flowers!There are also gem adamite yellow crystals on some areas!The overall balance makes it look like a painting!No damage!
