A very showy and rich specimen of botryoidal, yellow, smithsonite on crystallized purple and massive fluorite from the famous Sheshodonnell East Mine, Carron, The Burren, County Clare, Ireland. A bit of periphery damage is insignificant as it displays so nicely and colorfully. This fine piece is the second of three pieces recently collected from the dumps produced by old workings (the specimen is ca. 150 years old) 5.8 x 5.5 x 3.5 cm
