Item Description
A lovely cluster of sharp, striated scalenohedral cobaltoan smithsonite crystals up to 1.6 cm in length. The crystals are remarkably gemmy, glassy, have superb luster, and are a pretty pastel-pink. This excellent two-sided miniature is much better in person! Purchased in 1976 from the Zweibels. Ex Ed Ruggiero Collection.
