An unusually soft green-blue color makes this large smithsonite plate stand out. It has secondary growth of a sparkly blue microcrystalline layer, and in some places an odd white smithsonite layer. From the most significant collection smithsonites assembled from the now defunct and closed Refugio mine: the Kerry Cooper collection of smithsonite, which was sold to us earlier this year.
