A beautiful specimen of over a dozen modified rhombohedrons strung like pearls along creamy matrix. This Cuprian Smithsonite is one of the rarest and most sought-after varieties because of its vibrant apple-green color, and you can see why. Combine this with excellent luster, and you have an outstanding specimen of this rare habit. Purchased in 1976 from famed Tsumeb dealers, Miriam and Julius Zweibel.
