3.8 x 3.2 x 2.8 cm. This piece features lustrous/vitreous, beautiful blue color radiating aggregates and classic "rice grain"-shaped groups of smithsonite on matrix. A good representative piece of this classic material from New Mexico. This specimen comes from the collection of Willard W. Wulff (1904-1998) of Colorado Springs, Colorado, a prominent figure and collector of Colorado minerals. Wulff was one of the founding members of the Colorado Springs Mineralogical Society in 1936.
