Rich miniature featuring a dozen of millimetric apple green smithsonite 'rice grains', elegantly laid on a classic gossan matrix. Botryoids are in great conditions, display good lustre for the specie. 

From the small Hilarion dump, I found this very specimen during summer 2014. Green smithsonite is very rare in Lavrion.
