A gorgeous plate of lustrous, velvety, dove-gray botryoidal smithsonite from this classic old mine! This specimen came with an old Prosper Williams label; it has been around for some time. The pics give it a slightly reddish tint, which it does not have in person; it is a pure and very beautiful velvety gray color. 8.5 x 6.1 x 3 cm
