Smithsonite (variety Cuprian)

Item Description

A wonderfu glowing specimen with sharp, GEMMY, TRANSLUCENT rhombs of rich blue-green Cuprian Smithsonite measuring to 1.0 cm. It looks like the lighter blue associated mineral is Rosasite(?). This color has got to be the most desirable hue for Tsumeb in my mind. There are very few like his out there and most are, like this one, on the small side. Buy for the color, not the size...and you will see that the color gives it an eye-catching value beyond the size.
