Classic Tsumeb mine Smithsonite in a beige to sherry colour with super-bright resinous ('wet' lustre) crystals to 3.5 mm in length. These are certainly nowhere near to the largest Smithsonite crystals known from Tsumeb, but as Smithsonites go, this is a really fine miniature-sized example richly encrusted in really fine 'modified' somewhat curved, or twisted, rhombic crystals. Ex Glyn Cunnick Collection.
