U.S. National Museum, Washington A. Roebling Smithsonite

A very nice Smithsonite from Namibia with a U.S. National Museum, Washington A. Roebling label.

6.5 x 5 x 4.5 cm

Contrast has been stretched to show detail. To my eye in daylight it looks like slightly greenish frosted ice.

Purchased at an estate sale about 1985.
