A large specimen of sparkly, moss-green smithsonite from one of the greatest mineral localities ever. The display face of this specimen is covered with this glittering smithsonite - in places, taking on finger-like stalactitic forms, and in fact showing pretty relief/3-dimensionality across the whole specimen rather than being flat and boring. Beautiful!
