Very large (up to 2.2 cm) transparent to translucent scalenohedral crystals on matrix. The color ranges from light pink (cobaltian) to slightly yellow. This is a superb specimen of Smithsonite with incredible aesthetics for a miniature, and the rarest of habits - the elongated scalenohedra. Purchased from the Zweibels in 1978
