Smithsonite, Wenshan, Yunnan, China

Apparently a relatively recent find, this material is stunning! Like a lemon sorbet in natural light, it becomes a beautiful raspberry sorbet in shortwave. From Wenshan, Yunnan, China, shown in SW and natural, though MW is only slightly dimmer. Tasty! About 4 inches on the long side. . . .
