T1926 Smithsonite
El Refugio Mine, Choix, Sinaloa, Mexico
5.1x 3.4x 4.7 cm
$160
An nice example of purplish pink smithsonite from Choix. The smithsonite displays the typical botryoidal from and good satin luster, with the mineral coating faces on a couple different sides of the piece. This mine was once quite prolific, though there has been almost no new production since the early 2000's.
