Item Description
Bright sparkly cluster of very fine, gemmy Cuprian Smithsonites from the famous Tsumeb Mine. This sugary style was from ONE pocket in the 1970s. These mint green crystals are grouped into botryoidal clusters about that range up to 5 mm in size. The Smithsonite crystals have good clarity and form, and very good luster - they sparkle even under average room light. There is some wear on a few of the clusters, but the piece still has good aesthetics. An quality specimen of a highly desired variety of Smithsonite from the great Tsumeb Mine.
