A large, mammilary cluster of two "hills" of rounded smithsonite, showing a really unusual and nice, consistent yellow color atop more typical gray smithsonite from this locale. This is an old piece from the collection of deceased dealers Consie and Dalton Prince, of Houston. I have seen smaller examples, but none with such neat form and size in good condition. It is an older specimen, though we cannot say how old exactly. comes with custom base for display. Joe Budd photos
