Item Description

Luscious, apple-green, cuprian smithonite rhombs to 1.1 cm are aesthetically clustered on vuggy matrix richly covered with starkly contrasting sugary dolomite crystals. Two, tiny, hexagonal, gem, yellow mimetite crystals (one broken) attached to the middle smithsonite cluster are a super accent. All of the primary cuprian smithsonites are pristine and this color varietal are some of the most sought-after from Tsumeb. A choice and excellent combination specimen. Valued at $750-900. Seldom on the market in this color and quality.
