Brightly coloured, well-crystallized, and a Tsumeb classic - this small cabinet-sized Cobaltoan Smithsonite has a huge amount of quality and alot going for it. Completely covered in perfect, 4 to 5 mm long, rhombic, powder-pink crystals, this is a really attractive showy specimen. Compared to many Cobaltoan Smithsonites the crystals, although perhaps smaller, are extremely sharp, and there is very little damage of note, making this a perfect smaller cabinet-sized display piece.
