Item Description

A beautiful soft green Smithsonite from Tsumeb featuring several translucent, sharp, lustrous crystals on a contrasting gossan matrix. The crystals themselves are not especially large, but they have good luster and a very eye-catching color. Smithsonite from Tsumeb is one of the most classic species from what is arguably the greatest locality in the history of minerals. Enjoy!
