Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent combination of cobaltoan smithsonite on pyrite from Tsumeb!!! Aside from being a wonderfully aesthetic combination
specimen, pyrite specimens from Tsumeb are actually very rare indeed!!! This specimen was found in an old collection and consists of dense cluster of
small, yet well-crystallized pyrite crystals that hosts a cluster of lustrous, translucent, and pristine,
rich pink cobaltoan smithsonite crystals!!! There is also a partial galena crystal visible on the underside of the specimen!!!
A rare and unusual Tsumeb beauty indeed!!! The combination of sparkling brassy-golden pyrite crystals and the
glowing pink translucence of the cobaltoan smithsonite is quite striking in person!!! The pics hardly capture just how unique this specimen is!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
