Item Description

A beautiful association specimen that almost reminds me of Mapimi, Mexico. This piece features vitreous / resinous, 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. This piece was collected in April of 2015.
