Smithsonite with Calcite

Unknown Owner
Attractive rhombohedral crystals of smithsonite averaging 0.2 cm in size across this matrix with calcite. Slight damage present on what is the backside of the piece, this still very nice for the species and locality. The specimen comes with several previous labels, these dating the piece to 1972.
