Large, sharp, undamaged, rhombic, opaque, creamy-white coloured Smithsonite crystals are aggregated together to form this rich, triangular-shaped, small cabinet specimen from Tsumeb mine. The individual crystals reach to well over 1 cm in length, making this an extremely well-crystallized piece, and with their excellent resinous lustre they present extremely well. This is an really well-crystallized Smithsonite on a world-scale. Ex Hettrich Collection.
