A spectacular smithsonite for this location, with a good size and rich sparkling presence to it! Smithsonite from BH is actually rare, especially in display size like this. Intergrown botryoids of lustrous and translucent, light gray smithsonite, are nicely emplaced on matrix. The individual botryoids reach 2 cm across. Museum worthy for the location, and also worthy of any Aussie or smithsonite collection.
