Item Description
Attractive, pale greenish-blue, semi-lustrous radial groups of Smithsonite on matrix, creating an eye-catching overall specimen. From the collection of Harold Urish. It's a wonderfully pastel color but not a "grey" colored Smithsonite. There is also some underlying pale lilac Smithsonite and micro blue-green "balls" of and unknown mineral (Rosasite, Chrysocolla, Smithsonite??) If you're an Arizona collector, or a Smithsonite collector, don't pass this one up, as it's a lovely Smithsonite for what it is.
