Item Description
Cobaltian pink smithsonite is a treasure of Tsumeb, which produced the best crystals of this rare variety of smithsonite. This probably came out in the 1960s-1970s, and it is a choice, competitive level thumbnail featuring a glowing, deep pink crystal to 1.7 cm, atop a cluster of others. The size, display, and color saturation all contribute to its high ranking as a thumbnail example of this habit. Such styles have not come from any other localities, before or since.
