This smithsonite has completely pseudomorphed the original dolomite crystals, in classic curved saddle-shapes. As you can see, it wraps around the top of the specimen (lower-left photo), though I prefer the frontal view showing off the crystals with a bit more isolation and some contrast to the matrix. It is not complete on the backside, though it does have partial coverage there, but it certainly is complete on the display face and wrapping around the top. 5.2 x 3.5 x 2.2 cm
