4 x 3.9 x 3.2 cm. Sharp smithsonite crystals up to 1.5 cm, with good color and lustre. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
6.4 x 5.1 x 4.7 cm. Very nice pink crystals to .7 cm generously cover the top of this specimen. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
19.4 x 9.4 x 8.4 cm. The entire side of this very large matrix is covered with sparkly smithsonite of an unusual caramel hue with a hint of red. The crystals rise in 3-dimensional sand-drip forms. This is from the noted Tsumeb collection of Rob Smith.
8.7 x 4.1 x 3.2 cm. Highly lustrous, red-brown smithsonite scalenohedrons are festooned on all sides of the elongated, sculptural, sulfide matrix on this showy and excellent Tsumeb specimen from the Rob Smith Collection.
2.7 x 2.4 x 1.4 cm. This specimen is from a very unusual find of yellow or "turkey-fat" smithsonite that pseudomorphed crystals of dolomite - sometimes creating rather pretty 3-dimensional specimens.
10.1 x 9.9 x 4.4 cm. This is a thick crust - 1.5 cm thick - of solid smithsonite on a layer of hard rock matrix. The color is the classic "Kelly blue". The luster is a shimmering, silky luster.
1.9 x 1.5 x 0.8 cm. A fine, pastel-pink cobaltoan smithsonite spire superlatively mounted on matrix from the famous and now-closed Tsumeb Mine. This is a rare, extremely elongated and lustrous scalenohedron from the Rob Smith Collection.
5.1 x 4.9 x 3.5 cm. Large, transparent, green crystals of smithsonite from Berg Aukus, a classic smithsonite locality in Namibia. The crystals here, with a light olive tone, measure to over one centimeter tip-to-tip. Ex. Rob Smith Collection.
5.7 x 4.0 x 2.5 cm. Very sharp, lustrous and gemmy, metallic-pink rhombs of smithsonite. Ex. George Elling Collection.
9.5 x 6.2 x 4.0 cm. An old-time and showy specimen from much less well-known Oronogo Field of the fabled Tri-State District. Oronogo lies about 5 miles north of Joplin, Missouri. Botryoidal, yellow smithsonite richly and attractively covers contrasting gray chert matrix. Ex. George Feist Collection.
3.1 x 2.9 x 1.7 cm. Gemmy, elongated, yellow mimetite crystals to 1.3 cm are scattered on contrasting, sparkly, gemmy, smithsonite microcrystal-covered gossan matrix. Ex. John Medici Collection.
4.2 x 4.0 x 2.7 cm. This is a rare combo specimen of creamy crystals of smithsonite that have wrapped themselves around a glassy, gemmy compound crystal of cerrusite.
12.0 x 10.0 x 7.6 cm. A large, super-rich specimen of cream-colored smithsonite crystals from Berg Aukus. These large, translucent rhombs, to just under one centimeter, are piled up thickly all over the matrix, including all over a perfectly spherical form at one end of the specimen.
5.6 x 3.8 x 3.2 cm. This is a fine specimen featuring unusually sharply defined, BIG crystals of light green smithsonite crystals with fine transparency, protected in a shallow pocket. These crystals measure up to one centimeter along the edge. Ex. Marshall Sussman Collection.
11.0 x 6.8 x 4.0 cm. An excellent cabinet specimen studded, jackstraw fashion, with gemmy, very elongated, colorless smithsonite scalenohedrons to 1.8 cm on a massive sulfide plate from the famous and now-closed Tsumeb Mine. Ex. Rob Smith Collecton.
