Description

This is an interesting beauty. Firstly we have a blue smithsonite on a contrasting reddish-brown limonite/goethite that offers nice contrast. The limonite/goethite is a pseudomorph after selenite and the smithsonite is growing on and/or replacing the limonite/goethite! The shapes of the former selenite crystals are preserved and better distingusihed at the back.
