Item Description

Very large, pretty pastel-pink, tapered cobaltoan smithsonite rhombs form an impressive and classic mounded 360-degree miniature from famed Tsumeb. The translucent rhombs, to 3.0 cm, have superlative waxy luster on the nubby stepped-growth faces. The display front is pristine. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only a bit of periphery wear on the backside. This is an outstanding older pink smithsonite with large crystals. Valued at $1000-1250.
