Smithsonite from Namibia, Oshikoto Region, Tsumeb

Cuprian Smithsonite

Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Oshikoto Region, Namibia

6.3 x 4.3 x 2.8cm

ex. Weyand Collection

While  Smithsonite is the most common secondary mineral found at Tsumeb, the copper rich variety is one of the more rare, and desirable varieties sought by collectors. This specimen displays an extremely rare crystal habit. While Smithsonite is most commonly found as either botryoidal or rhombohedral crystal forms, this is a rare example of prismatic Cuprian crystals, almost acicular in habit. This is a highly aesthetic and unusual addition to my collection.
