Wow! This is a complete, pristine, stalactite of pink smithsonite colored a rich red-pink hue by cobalt. The color is very good, as these go. The crystal size is to just about 1 cm. The overall coverage is 100% here, making for a novel specimen, a stalactite, the aspect of which is highly unusual. But it is more than just an interesting shape, as the crystals are gemmy and well colored and of a quality that demands attention anyhow. A unique piece, from the Dr. Gary Hansen collection which I purchased in 2004. Gary was a major mineral dealer in the 1960s through about 1984 and kept this in his collection for another 20 years after his retirement from mineral dealing.
