Item Description

A three-dimensional specimen of rich green Cuprian Smithsonite from the most famous of localities, Tsumeb. The piece has such eye-catching form, which when combined with that fantastic color makes for a very showy and desirable piece. It's not massive Smithsonite either, as you can see from the photos, there are hundreds of small rhombic crystal faces all over. A few spots of damage keep it from being 100% pristine, but if it were totally undamaged, it would be in the $5,000 range retail.
