Description/Interesting Notes:
A terrific example of manganoan smithsonite from Tsumeb!!! This specimen hosts a rich coverage of razor-sharp, lustrous rhombs of
translucent manganoan smithsonite crystals on both sides of the matrix!!! The crystals are in fantastic condition on both sides and they have a
handsome light pink color!!! While the great majority of pink colored smithsonite specimens
from Tsumeb owe their pink color to the presence of cobalt - this is a much less common pink variety colored by manganese!!!
The pictures hardly do it justice!!!
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 SEPTEMBER 2nd!!!
