A couple of miners have gone back into the legendary 79 Mine and have been pulling out a trickle of the famous green smithsonite specimens from the mine!! This one features shimmering, deep green botryoidal smithsonite; there are some rough spots on the plate, but the majority of it is fine smithsonite with the distinctive 79 Mine look! 10.2 x 6.4 x 1.9cm
