Smithsonite

Unknown Owner
Classic Mexican specimen with pinkish purple chatoyant and lustrous botryoidal crystallized smithsonite covering the front of this matrix. In very good condition as seen. The previous label erroneously gives the locality as the Kelly mine in New Mexico. This is obviously from Mexico.
