Smithsonite, Kelly Mine, Magdalena District, near Magdalena, New Mexico.  5.5cm X 5.0 cm. From Tony Otero, who ran the rock shop in Magdalena, New Mexico, in 1977.  The specimen features a single "Rice Grain" crystal growing off  one of the spheres.  The splotch of brown is where the "Rice Grain" contacted the other side of the little pocket.  My friend Mike refers to this piece as "Right off the cover of Sinkankas". (Author: Ed Huskinson)
