SOLD
A showy and rich Tsumeb cluster of large, very glassy, striated, mostly colorless smithsonite rhombs on a shard of matrix. The rhombs reach 2.0 cm and are attractively and preferentially tinted with iron oxides on the crystal faces and edges. Excellent material from this famous and now-closed mine. Essentially pristine with only a tiny bit of periphery wear. Ex. George Elling Collection.
