Item Description
Rarely does cuprian smithsonite sparkle so much as this gorgeous plate covered with hundreds of sharp, sparkling rhombs. Green smithsonite is famous from Tsumeb, and in crystalline form occurs nowhere else in such quality. Tsumeb produced many varieties. Some are more green, some less. This is not particularly pure green, which makes it unusual. it has a blue tinge to it caused by the underlying, associated copper mineralization (presumably rosasite), so that the crystals here have a color very beautiful and distinct. Valued $2000. Old Pat Carlon specimen.
