SOLD
A pristine, highly lustrous and translucent 3-sided pyramidal smithsonite crystal with stepped growth faces aesthetically set on a bit of matrix from Berg Aukus. very DESIRABLE MATERIAL, these are rare nowadays though OFTEN you see them (particularly on the web) mislabeled as TSUMEB smithsonites which they decidedly are not. These are distinguished by a silky luster, pale olive color, sharp pseudo-pyramidal form, and translucency which in person set them off in their own league, especially when nicely formed and isolated as this one is. 3.4 x 2.9 x 1.9 cm
