Item Description
Glassy, lustrous, vivid pink, cobaltoan smithsonite rhombs richly cover the sulfide matrix on this very colorful Tsumeb specimen. This bright pink is the top color for this highly desirable smithsonite varietal from this world-famous mine. The piece is shaped like Africa in one view. The smithsonites are in good shape, with the periphery wear being a very minor detraction. Excellent, colorful and desirable Tsumeb smithsonite from the Charlie Key Collection.
