Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic example of smithsonite from Broken Hill!!! This specimen consists of a rich showing of translucent, botryoidal
smithsonite on matrix!!! The smithsonite is thick and has a wonderful glowing translucence!!! The botryoidal crystals have a velveteen luster
and range in color from whitish to pale green and pale reddish toward the sides!!! There is an area that appears to be
some tiny dots of bruising, however upon close examination one can see that this is actually an old catalogue number (could be easily removed if
so desired)!!! This specimen is WAY better than the pictures show and displays gorgeously in person!!! Old material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY APRIL 12th!!!
