This large thumbnail specimen consists of a section of botryoidal Smithsonite crust. It is in good condition, though one spot does seem to be lightly damaged, and it shows good botryoidal form. The crust has a red-brown color that is likely caused by rusty inclusions, and shows the characteristic "melted wax" luster. It is dappled with dull, black spots of some other mineral and appears to hold a small amount of brown or black goethite or limonite on its underside.
