Item Description
A beautiful association specimen that almost reminds me of Mapimi, Mexico. This piece features vitreous / resinous, yellowish-green spheroids of Smithsonite with associated rounded rhombic crystals of white Calcite. There is some very minor blue-green Aurichalcite on the back of the piece as well. I'm told that this piece was recently collected (spring of 2015).
