An unusually intense aqua-sea-blue color makes this large smithsonite plate stand out. It has secondary growth of a sparkly green-blue microcrystalline smithsonite balls which provide accent and dimensionality to the rolling carpet. From the most significant collection of now-closed Refugio specimens: the Kerry Cooper collection of smithsonite, which sold to us earlier this year. This specimen and DEN13-1068 were from the same original piece, trimmed. Joe Budd Photos.
