Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare and unique example of heterogenite with smithsonite from Tsumeb!!! This specimen hosts several large, complex crystals
of smithsonite that host thick, lustrous coatings of jet-black heterogenite!!! The smithsonite crystals
are scattered around the matrix and exhibit highly complex habits with marked translucence and light tan color!!! The smithsonite
crystals have unusually rounded features and a slightly velveteen luster!!! The heterogenite
is present as a thick, dark black, lustrous coating on these unusual smithsonite crystals!!! The overall look and presentation
is quite striking in person!!! This rare and
unique specimen is way better than the pics show!!! This specimen is in fantastic condition and displays magnificently in person!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JUNE 28th!!!
