This colorful smithsonite has a spectacular seafoam blue/green color speckled with bright flecks of iridesccent purple and yellow, unlike anything I have previously seen from Mexico! It has a "silky" look to it. The smithsonite is translucent when backlit. Also, note the interesting secondary deposit of another generation of smithsonite here and there atop the earlier botryoids. The thickness varies from .5-1 cm or more in the more bubbly growths. 15.1 x 9.2 x 6 cm
