These lustrous, translucent, rhombic Cuprian Smithsonites are moderately intergrown with very distinct crystals, sharp edges and faces resulting in a jagged, geometric profile of pleasant mint green. The Smithsonite crystals are well-formed with razor sharp edges! This is a superb miniature of Cuprian Smithsonite for this varietal combination of color and shape from Tsumeb that is seldom seen. Valued $2500-3500. this style is super rare!
