On a sliver of massive ore, this EXCELLENT, OLD-TIME cluster of lustrous and water-clear smithsonite scalenohedrons, to 2.0 cm in length, is accessorized by having a preferential surface coating of goethite (?), in the form of a rich dusting. The dusting give this superb specimen an other-worldly appearance. A SUPERB accent are the few scattered, yellow (cadmium-rich) smithsonite crystals. Incredibly interesting smithsonite, really different than so many hundreds of others I have seen. Ex. Sensel, Dr. Eugene and George Elling Collections.
