Botryoidal growths of small, bright, yellowish Smithsonite crystals on matrix with associated small crystals of Cerussite. The specimen is from an old find in Touissit, where Smithsonite is not a very common species, although when it does appear it is usually very bright, as in this case. This specimen has been analyzed. Touissit, Touissit District, Jerada Province, Oriental Region, Morocco Specimen size: 17.8 × 14.6 × 5.3 cm = 7.01” × 5.75” × 2.09” Reference: TB66AL5
