Botryoidal, lustrous, translucent, yellowish-green, smithsonite has encrusted a dark reddish-brown limonite matrix. I particularly like the 3.5 cm in length, stalactitic encrustation. A very unusual color for Mexico, and also I am not familiar with other smithsonite from this mine coming to market. From the world class collection of Martin Zinn.
