Description

Balanced miniature of botryoidal smithsonite. Double faces specimen with nice sky blue color on one side and a slight brown on the other. Good lustre and thickness for this specimen. 

It comes from the Swiss collection Burger (CH), assembled in the pre-1950s and relabeled in modern times.

Historical specimens from Lavrion are sought-after, and this one is definitely a keeper. From my own personal collection!
