Superb, rolling carpet of 3-dimensional smithsonite botryoids, on solid matrix. It is rare to have such thick, rich smithsonite, balls on solid rock matrix. Usually the thicker crusts in particular break off, and come free as specimens. This one has a pristine display face, although it is contacted on the periphery. This was a lot of money in 1969 for a contemporary, at-the-time-common mineral! 9.3 x 7.5 x 4.8 cm
