This is the best specimen from a legendary find of late 2019. Smithsonite from Lavrion does not get any better. Please note that this piece hosts CRYSTALS (with rounded edges) not just botryoids. The color is a wonderful apple green with fine natural luster and the smithsonite is gemmy. That was to begin with: the piece is an insane combination of cuprian smithsonite, aurichalcite (blue), hemimorphite (colorless little crystals), calcite and sits on pseudomorphs/epimorphs after fluorite (!!!). From my personal collection, this is my favorite Greek smithsonite to date.
