Description

The color on this rare Greek smithsonite is out of this world. It is a highly saturated green and blue that I have only seen a few times in micro-parts of smithsonite specimens. This specimen is almost entirely composed of smithsonite and is actually quite thick. The display, botryoidal surface also shows fine luster. Despite its small size, this is overall an excellent and rare, beautiful smithsonite from Greece!
