SOLD
A beautiful, good-sized specimen with sharp pink rhombs of smithsonite to 8mm. This is an old classic smithsonite from Tsumeb. The smithsonite crystals are covering bright orange crystals of quartz to 2 mm - an association I had not sene previously. Several damaged smithsonite crystals are present on the specimen but overall its in pretty good shape and nothing visually detracts. Its better in person because the quartz adds a colorful accent which has more appeal in person. Piece comes with old Conklin and Hauck labels.
