Item Description
Turquoise-blue smithsonite is about the rarest and most desirable Tsumeb varietal. Sparkly blue microcrystals are scattered in a cluster and seams on the mounded "ball" of sparkly, metallic, wine-red cuprite microcrystals. The cuprites really glow under bright light. This is a rare and very desirable combination from this famous locale. Hefty ore, for the size, and choice material from the Art Soregaroli Collection.
