Smithsonite (ex Urish Collection)

Item Description

Recently, a few miners in Mexico decided to go back into Choix to try to find some highly sought after specimens of Smithsonite, but this piece is from the OLD material (1975 according the label on the bottom of the box). This mine is well known for its colorful and bright display specimens, ranging in color from pink to purple to blue to green. This piece features some well-formed, silvery lavender to slightly pink color spherical aggregates of Smithsonite with a very attractive vitreous luster. A very nice Smithsonite from this classic Mexican locale. From the collection of Harold Urish.
