Cute little bleb of Smithsonite, part of a flat I purchased from Tony Otero of Magdalena, New Mexico in the late 70s/early 80s (as best I can recall). From the famous Kelly mine.

As a sucker for blue-green carbonates, you'll find a lot of smithsonite in my collection. These Kelly Mine examples- including the 9 cm. cabinet specimen and two miniatures - were purchased from Tony Otero of Magdalena, NM.
