Item Description

A rare and showy pseudomorph from the famous Tsumeb Mine. Glassy, translucent, gray smithsonite rhombs have pseudomorphed at least five, easy to hard to see, tetrahedral tennantite crystals and also cover the hefty massive sulfide and copper oxide matrix. The largest pseudo is 2.0 cm. You can even see a tiny spray of glassy, secondary smithsonite spikes in the hollow of a pseudo. This rare and excellent pseudo displays well from either side and is from the Art Soregaroli Collection. Value??
