Item Description

A beautiful association specimen that almost reminds me of Mapimi, Mexico. This piece features soft bluish-green spheroids of Smithsonite measuring up to 5 mm nestled together in a vug of oxidized matrix. I'm told that this piece was recently collected (spring of 2015). A great piece for any collector of secondary ore minerals, or minerals from Lavrion
