Smithsonite was named in 1832 in honor of English chemist and mineralogist, James Smithson, who first identified the mineral in 1802. It usually occurs as earthy botryoidal masses. Grape-like clusters have pearly luster and are often slightly banded. Well-formed crystals are rare. Bonamite is a trade name for cabochon-cut massive pieces of Smithsonite.
