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

High-quality rounded crystals of gemmy, lustrous, vivid green smithsonite on a contrasting matrix that hosts little crystals of colorless hemimorphite, associated with blue aurichalcite and contrasting white calcite. Superb example from the find. From my personal collection #167.
