Cuprian Smithsonite w/ Willemite (fluorescent) ex Soregaroli Coll.

Item Description

A 3.0 cm on the diagonal smithsonite rhomb dominates this showy, rich and uncommon large combination from Berg Aukas. The sharp, lustrous, translucent, cuprian mint-green rhombs cover the hefty matrix. Willemite is uncommon but known in combination with smithsonite from here, even though this was a Zn-Pb-V mine. Sparkly drusy colorless willemite lathes cover the left side of the piece. The willemite fluoresces white under SW UV light. Excellent and uncommon combination material from the Art Soregaroli Collection. Valued at $750.
