Item Description

A cool and classic Smithsonite specimen from Silver Hill in Arizona. The piece is a crystallized vug that is lined with bright, vitreous, silvery semi "rice grain"-esque crystals on gossan matrix. A good large miniature / small cabinet sized piece of this well known material. I photographed the crystals under the microscrope to show their quality.
