| Smithsonite #12525
|
| 79 Mine, Gila Co., Arizona, United States |
| Chemical Formula: ZnCO3 |
| Size: Sm Cabinet |
All five of these beautiful 79 Mine Smithsonite pieces are from an older find and are, in our opinion, superior to the more recent find. All of these have a vivid apple-green color and a great chatoyant luster. I've noticed competitors currently selling 79 Mine Smithsonite (probably from the newer find) for hundreds or even thousands.
This is a larger piece with good coverage of lustrous apple-green botryoidal Smithsonite on one side of a larger piece of matrix. |
| Overall: 9 x 4 x 7 cm |
