Item Description
A beautiful example of the uncommon pseudomorphs from Santa Eulalia featuring gorgeous soft pink Smithsonite with a sparkling / drusy surface luster that has formed pseudomorphs after "dogtooth" habit Calcite crystals. The largest pseudmorph measures about 2.0 cm long. If you flip the piece over, you'll see that the crystals are actually partially hollow underneath, so you could call this a "cast" as well. These are hard to find on the market, and certainly worth picking up if you collect pseudomorphs or minerals from this prestigious locality, one of the great specimen producers in Mexico.
