This is a highly sought after  ULTRA RARE  specimen of IRIDESCENT BOTRYOIDAL SILVERY SMITHSONITE from the famous ,now closed  EL REFUGIO MINE in CHOIX,SINALOA,MEXICO.

PLEASE SEE VIDEO TO APPRECIATE THE IRIDESCENCE!

The specimen was purchased from Benny Fenn in Tucson at least 20 years ago !

These specimens are highly sought after, RARE and beautiful. 

The photos speak for themselves. This beauty is even nicer in person than my iPhone photos reveal.

As an added " bonus" the specimen fluoresces a creamy white under long wave  UV light ( Photos 16-18) and a soft red under short wave UV light ( last photo).

SW photo taken with Super Bright lamp ,long wave with36 watt Way Too Cool lamp.

THIS SPECIMEN WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY RARE/FINE MINERAL COLLECTION!
