Description:Attractive, rich greenish-blue, semi-lustrous radial groups of Smithsonite on matrix, creating an eye-catching overall specimen. From the collection of Harold Urish, and certainly an uncommon specimen based upon the color of other Smithsonites I've seen from the 79 Mine. It's a wonderfully bright color as opposed to many of the less desirable darker and "dingy" greem Smithsonites from this locality. If you're an Arizona collector, or a Smithsonite collector, don't pass this one up, as it's a fairly unusual Smithsonite for what it is.
