Item Description

Rosettes of glassy, vivid-pink, flattened cobaltoan smithsonite rhombs form a very colorful, aesthetic and excellent, large specimen from Tsumeb. The smithsonites become smaller and turn gray on the left side of the massive sulfide matrix. Classic and rich color for Tsumeb. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $125, for free. Ex Charelle and James Webb Collection. Valued at $1250-1500 on size and beauty, though usually this particular crystal style goes for a premium as well. This is a very fine, displayable, cabinet piece of this classic material
