Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of smithsonite from Tsumeb!!! This specimen consists of a cluster of curiously colored, light yellow crystals of cadmium smithsonite!!! This specimen boast a
broad face covered in sharp, lustrous, and pristine smithsonite crystals to over 1.2cm!!! These large smithsonite crystals actually appear to host
slightly darker colored phantoms within that are accompanied by curious submillimeter crystalline inclusions (unknown species)!!! This specimen
is actually comprised of near solid smithsonite, with the opposite side hosting its own coverage of smaller, colorless smithsonite crystals with dark tan/orange cores as well!!! A very fine
smithsonite indeed!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
crystal measures over 1.2cm
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!

WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY May 20th!!!
