Smithsonite var. Cadmian Smithsonite with Fluorite Sheshodonnell East Mine, Carron, The Burren, Co. Clare, Ireland 3.52cm x 2.46cm x 1.65cm

Description/Interesting Notes: A classic example of cadmian smithsonite from Ireland!!! This specimen consists of an intense, bright yellow botyroidal cluster of smithsonite crystals on a matrix of purplish fluorite!!! This smithsonite has incredibly intense cadmian-yellow color that is just about the brightest I have seen (It almost looks radioactive in person)!!! This specimen is in fantastic condition, what might appear to be damage in the pics are actually areas where the crystals from an outer layer do not completely cover the underlying layer!!! The smithsonite formed on a cluster of cubic fluorite crystals (if you notice, you can discern the roughly cubic forms underlying the botryoidal smithsonite) and one can see parial crystals of purple fluorite on the reverse!!! This is OLD material, likely dating back a century or more!!! The pics say it all!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!!
