Smithsonite

Two intersecting crystals with good luster. Both crystals are terminated on each end. This specimen is from Mimosos do Sul mine, Mimosos do Sul, ES, Brazil.

Beautiful transparent blue to mauve color cubes up 2.0 cm on edge. Crystal edges are bevelled, (I believe the modified cubes are correctly described as tetra hexahedrons). Scattered pyrite is visible in the crevices around the perimeter of the specimen. The specimen is from the Jamina Mine, Corrales, Berbes – Caravia, Austurias, Spain.

The intense color and luster set this piece apart from others on the market. The specimen displays well from all sides. It is from Mamuju are, Sulawesi, Barat Province, Indonesia.

A largercognac color twinned crystal sits perfectly, with a small accompanying crystal at it’s base, on a thin layer of matrix. Crystal faces are razor sharp. There is no damage on this specimen. The luster is great. This is a quality specimen from Elmwood Mine, Smith Co., Tennessee, USA.

Very showy larger specimen from Bou Baker, Oriental Region, Morocco. Matrix face is covered with pink dolomite crystals. Gypsum balls containing lime green devilline are scattered across the dolomite.
