Golden crystals of Smithsonite forming a 14mm sphere of intergrown crystals on a matrix covered by small Smithsonite crystals. These are called Cadmium Smithsonite with the color attributed to the presence of Cadmium. The spherical formation is unusual. Ex. Chuck Trantham collection, acquired by Chuck in 1998.
