A terrific example of smithsonite from Tsumeb!!! This specimen consists of a cluster of sharp, lustrous, complex smithsonite crystals
that have a unique orangey-tan color!!! The color is the result of rich inclusions easily visible within the crystals!!! In addition to the smithsonite
crystals the reverse side hosts a rich distribution of whitish willemite crystals!!! There are also a couple cerussite crystals scattered about!!!
Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope, one can find tiny mimetite crystals tucked among the willemite crystals as well!!! This specimen is
in magnificent condition and displays quite handsomely in person!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
