From my 4/28/16 visit to the Smithsonian. A half stone, 4"x4" in size, and likely 500 plus grams.

A little bigger than my collection examples :/

I would have expected it to be more green. Maybe too much light. The viewing glass for this display was covered with fingerprints/smudges which was disappointing.
