This is a competition quality smithsonite specimen for several reasons. On one side are botryoids and rice grain crystals that are lustrous, translucent, and have the most incredible pastel kelly blue color. The largest botryoid reaches 2.0 cm across. On the back side is a stalk of smithsonite along with bow ties that links the rice grains together. These even display apparent fortification-like growth, similar to agates. All in all, this is a superb and aesthetic specimen! It is not your usual flat plate!
