Smithsonite from Greece, Attica, Lavrion Mining District, Sounion mine no. 6, Lavrion

Large and rich specimens such as this one were very rare from this superb find of 2019-2020. Apple-green crystallized smithsonite with contrasting white calcite, minor blue aurichalcite and some colorless little crystals of hemimorphite. From my personal collection, #162.
