Item Description

Beautiful rich mint-green, sparkly, gemmy to translucent, tiny, multifaceted, complexly crystalized, cuprian smithsonite crystals are richly festooned on the large matrix. The best green smithsonite from all the world came from Tsumeb in the 1960s to early 1980s. The edges of the smithsonite field host tiny contrasting cerussite crystals as a bonus. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $185 for free. Valued at $1750. A fine and rich large example of neon-green copper-bearing smithsonite from Tsumeb. The striking color impact can be seen across a room.
