From a private collection.

Highly sought after, even more so now the mine has been completely destroyed, we are very happy to bring you a rare piece of vivid green smithsonite from county clare. This brilliant example showcases vivd green and yellows on a matrix of what looks to be (but not confirmed) dolomite or calcite. Either way, this beautiful piece deserves a space in every collectors home. 

Every effort is made to photograph the crystals as accurately as possible, but please allow for slight variations in colour. We do not edit or use filters on our photos, we only photograph in natural daylight. Some materials however, photograph differently to how they look with the naked eye.
