One of the biggest Choix smithsonites I personally have ever seen, and rippling with beautiful blue-green botryoids. This is a ridge of matrix on which a thick crust of smithsonite piled up. The color is variegated in shades of blue and green, and the luster is superb. From large finds of 3-4 years ago now.
