Condition

Equant, colourless to light grey Smithsonite crystals scattered individually over a matrix of dark-grey, finely granulated Galena from the Tsumeb mine. Coating the Galena and filling in most areas between the Smithsonite crystals are undulating, drusy botryoidal crusts of an opaque white mineral, tinged delicate powder-blue, thought likely to be Aragonite. A nice Smithsonite with interesting associations from Tsumeb.
