Description

This is definitely a super piece. Not, just because of the well developed and sharp Smithsonite. It´s the association with slightly indistinctive but rich crystallized Galena which part of the matrix consists. The rhombohedral Smithsonite is highly lustrous as well and also lucent. A very good specimen especially considering the rarity of the combination.
