Very large, lustrous, and thick smithsonite botryoids on matrix from Berg Aukas, Namibia. The amber color is very rich, and the luster and translucency are excellent. The crenellated growth patterns on the botryoids are fascinating. These are extra large smithsonites for the habit, and quite attractive, from Berg Aukas.
