Item Description

It goes without saying that Tsumeb is one of the most prolific localities in the world. The plethora of species, both common and rare, including so many that are ranked as "best in the world" makes Tsumeb such a highly sought after locality for collectors. This piece is filled with dozens of small soft purplish-pink color Cobaltoan Smithsonites measuring up to a a few mm with vitreous luster and excellent crystal form. Good quality and very eye-catching, with very little damge. As you all know, Tsumeb minerals are not only highly sought after, but their value seems to increase daily on the market.
