Highly lustrous spherical aggregates of light purplish pink smithsonite, measuring 7 cm in length, exhibit minor translucence but great luster. This silky-sheened smithsonite is from the amazing discoveries brought out by dealer Benny Fenn in the late 1990s, and sadly we have not seen more since those days. It is a gorgeous plate for the size, with unusually even color and no damage to the display face.
