Item Description

A cool polished slice of yellow cadmium-bearing Smithsonite from a recent discovery in China. The slice truly resembles the classic yellow material from the Masua Mine in Italy, and for the pattern and color, is a great example of this hard to find material. Gemmy / translucent when backlit and really cool internal patterning.
