SOLD
A very rich, fine, 3-dimensional, two-sided, cabinet specimen from the Tsumeb Mine. Gemmy and lustrous, pink cobaltoan smithsonite rhombs totally coat the sculptural matrix on this specimen. A fine accent is the few gemmy, amber, windowpane wulfenite crystals found on both sides of the piece. The large, undamaged wulfenite is 1.3 cm. The other side features a 6 mm wulfenite nearly overgrown with smithsonite. Ex. Rob Smith Collection. Wulfenite on smithsonite is not that common from Tsumeb.
