This is a very rare ALGERIAN smithsonite, with associated willemite on the back side. It is a rich, 1.5-cm thick crust, with a gentle pastel hue of sea-foam green which does not come out in the pics and a subtle botryoidal form on its surface. It has a pretty, pearly sheen to it. Very difficult to obtain, if you can even find one anywhere!
