Item Description

Glassy, lustrous and transucent, oxide-tinted light straw-yellow smithsonite rhombs, to 1.4 cm on the diagonal, cover the large sculptural 3-dimensional matrix plate on this colorful, showy, rich and excellent specimen from famed Tsumeb. The noted periphery wear can be strongly minimized by the correct display angle. Classic Tsumeb smithsonite valued by the former dealer at $1500.
