Item Description
This is nearly a solid, architecturally interesting specimen composed of rosettes of lustrous and translucent, richly-saturated red-pink, cobaltoan smithsonite, to 1 cm across. There is a secondary, gray coating on some of the smithsonite rosettes which gives some dimension and texture to the piece, as a tradeoff. The color is very intense! In fact, it is more red/maroon than usual, and really stands out from more genreally pink examples. It is impactful, in person. Valued 1500-2000
