Description

This a very large and heavy specimen, so please see the shipping costs before bidding.

This is a huge smithsonite specimen in excellent condition. A bit more than half of it is brownish botryoidal smithsonite with good luster, on goethite after calcite! The upper part of the specimen which is more dark, shows the underlying pseudos and surprisingly, ther are hundrends of beautiful brown-orange crystals of smithsonite scattered on the goethite pseudos. This is a large, museum-grade specimen. I decided to risk it here, giving you a chance to get a bargain and this is a bargain at any price it may sell here!
