We have all seen a large number of smithsonites from Choix, in spurts over the last few years. But this turquoise blue-green color is rarely seen in good larger pieces. Moreover, many Choix smithsonites are flat plates or shapeless rounded blobs, without the 3-dimensional aesthetics that this piece has. It is nearly pristine and is complete-all-around 360-degrees as it sits. Weighs 800 grams.
