Item Description
It goes without saying that Tsumeb is one of the most prolific localities in the world. The plethora of species, including so many that are ranked as "best in the world" makes Tsumeb such a highly sought after destination for collectors. This piece is filled with soft pink Cobaltoan Smithsonites with "wet" vitreous luster and EXCELLENT crystal form. The largest crystal measures 8 mm. Good quality and very eye-catching, with very little damge. As you all know, Tsumeb minerals are not only highly sought after, but their value seems to increase daily on the market.
