Cuprian Smithsonite (Rob Smith Coll.)

Item Description

Pretty, sugary mint-green cuprian smithsonite cover both sides of this very fine and rare rib from the ONE-TIME find in the 1970s. The front of the piece is peppered with tiny, light pink dolomite rhombs, adding a nifty touch of class. An quality specimen of a highly desired variety of smithsonite from the great Tsumeb Mine. That's tack on both edges of the piece. Ex Rob Smith Collection, a noted Tsumeb collector.
