Description

Good luster and pleasant, soft bluish color on this botryoidal smithsonite specimen from Hilarion. Such smithsonites are very hard to acquire nowadays and the availability is running low. I had the luck to get almost all of this find a few years ago. From an ancient and now almost defunct but highly desirable locality!
