Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of cobaltoan smithsonite from Tsumeb!!! This specimen consists of a galena & tennantite matrix that is completely covered
with rich pink crystals of cobaltoan smithsonite!!! The smithsonite crystals have complex, curvaceous habits with sharply defined
features, glassy luster, and marked translucence!!! The specimen is in magnificent condition all around and displays gorgeously in person!!! Upon
close examination, it appears that you can see the forms of the underlying tennantite and galena crystals!!!
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 SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY MARCH 22nd!!!
