Smithsonite
specimen number:
1501171
location:
Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Otjikoto Region, Namibia
description:
The top side of this 20.0 x 11.0 x 9.0 cm matrix is covered almost completely by pearly translucent crystals of smithsonite measuring as large as 1.0 cm in size. I can find one crystal at lower right that is cleaved, overall I think this is in very good condition, especially considering the size and number of crystals present. An excellent large cabinet display quality example for the species. Shipping weight: 8.34 pounds. Ex Renaud Vochten collection.
