Bubblegum pink Cobaltoan Smithsonite is one of the great all-time classic mineral species, or varieties, seen from Tsumeb mine in Namibia. Simply unrivalled in their quality, even miniature specimens like this are world-class. With sharp, rhombic crystals reaching up to 1 cm in length and a rich cerise-pink colour this makes for a really great smaller display of this beautiful variety. Ex Weyand Collection.
