Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:16128434 |
Smithsonite from Choix, Sinaloa, Mexico. I was lucky to come across four exceptional pieces of this material in Tucson that came from an old collection that was put together in the 1970's. This is some of the finest Smithsonite ever to come out of the region. Most people in the know agree that the majority of the better Smithsonite that came from the Choix Municipality was in the 1960's and into the 1970's. There has been only a few large finds to come from the area and it is common kn...owledge that there has not been any significant amount of good product coming from the area since Benny Fenn produced some in the late 1990's. This piece is exceptionally clean and has that Wet Luster appearance that we all Love to see in the best Smithsonites. The color is exceptional and is a two tone mix of Pink and Purple.
