Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare, old time example of PINK smithsonite from Arizona!!! These old pink smithsonites from the Grand View Mine are very rare indeed!!!
This specimen is densely covered with tiny, translucence pink botryoidal crystals of pink smithsonite on both sides!!! Upon close inspection, one
can find a few tiny microcrystals of turquoise blue aurichalcite in association (one of the tell-tale associates on these rare Grand View smithsonites)!!!
This long since closed mine is located in the Grand Canyon National Park and collecting has long been impossible!!! Rare, old time 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 SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JULY 14th!!!
