Description

Here is a fine Lavrion smithsonite. This specimen shows three colors: Blue, Pastel-Green and White. What I couldn't show at the photos is the luster which is quite good and is an important factor that defines the overall quality of smithsonite. One of the better examples of the species from Greece that have been auctioned here.
