About the Item
A large natural white smithsonite specimen.
Once forming part of a private UK collection, this striking white specimen displays a unique irregular shape originating from Mexico.
Smithsonite is an ore of zinc with a botryoidal structure; a term used to describe the clustered, grape-like formations characterised by their rounded or bulbous shape. This mineral is named after English scientist and mineralogist, James Smithson (1786 – 1929) who published numerous scientific papers on chemistry, geology and mineralogy in the early 1800s.
He was responsible for defining calamine, which would later be renamed “smithsonite” in his honour.
