Item Description

Yellow cadmium-rich smithsonite is among the rarest and most desirable varietals from famed Tsumeb. This is an aesthetic and sculptural two-sided miniature of two stacked columns of sharp, lustrous and translucent, straw-yellow prisms with an iron oxide tinting. A showy and highly representative example of the rare varietal and locale.
