Item Description
Scintillating, gemmy, grass-green to pastel-green, cuprian smithsonite microcrystals in spherical aggreagates fully coat both sides of this very fine two-sided rib from Tsumeb. A single, 5 mm, spray of gemmy mimetite crystals is a super accent. Classic and desirable in this color and quality. The crystals REALLY sparkle in any light. Older and uncommon material in this varietal from the Rob Smith Collection. Valued at $1250-1500.
