Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic OLD time smithsonite from Arkansas!!! This specimen consists of a cluster of very well formed crystals of colorless smithsonite on a chert-like
matrix!!! Upon close inspection, one can see that these crystals are surprisingly thick and substantial for the locality!!! The crystals are quite lustrous and
have marked translucence throughout!!! The crystals are simply incredible for the locality!!! The crystals are on very characteristic chert-like matrix!!!
This is old material that likely dates to the early 1900's or late 1800's!!! This specimen retains an old unattributed label as well!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
