Smithsonite Var. Cobaltian ex Rob Smith Coll

Item Description

This is a very robust, 3-dimensional cluster of lustrous and translucent, intergrown crystals of pastel pink, cobaltian smithsonite, to 1.5 cm across. The crystals are "rounded" for lack of a better word, like discs almost. They have a very distinct appearance to them and this is a rare style for Tsumeb. A pleasing pink color and the rounded crystals combine to make it look "soft" somehow to the eye. A very robust , pretty piece from the Rob Smith Tsumeb collection, ex Marshall Sussman over a decade ago.
