Item Description
This hefty plate of Tennantite and Galena is populated with dozens upon dozens of lovely, dusty-pink rhombohedral crystals of Smithsonite. The Smithsonites are classic Tsumeb- curved rhombs with beveled edges, pearly luster, and finely undulating crystal faces. The Smithsonites are quite gemmy, and you frequently see pearly internal reflections emanating from the crystals: a beautiful and rare visual effect, testimony to the quality of the Smithsonites. The rhombs are commonly 6 mm on edge. They are in excellent condition. Very aesthetic. Valued $1800-2000 and from the Tsumeb suite of Dr Art Soregaroli of Vancouver, from whom we acquired it in collection purchase..
