This very large matrix is COVERED with botryoidal lavender smithsonite, from the new mining at the classic old Choix works! This is one of the richest and most substantial specimens I have seen from the mine, with cave-like openings and very sculptural form. Major piece of great beauty, and a good anchor for any showcase 22.5 x 20.5 x 15.5 cm
