A fine, old-time combination specimen from Bisbee of pastel-green, botryoidal smithsonite covering both sides of the mounded, vuggy gossan matrix. The smithsonite is beautifully accented by sparkly, amber calcite microcrystals. On the back, powder blue chrysocolla balls to 7 mm are aesthetically scattered in a large vug.
