Smithsonite Var. Cobaltian and Cadmian
Smithsonite crystals rarely reach the size of the largest of the crystals found in this attractive miniature. The six crystals, pink, lustrous, and with classic Smithsonite striations, form a tight cluster but with good individual definition. The single biggest crystal in an amazing 1.6 cm on edge and 3 cm ACROSS! The crystals are in very good condition, with only one smaller, cleaved crystal along the periphery. A good, aesthetic miniature with important crystal size! Beyond that, the zoning is facinating. Inside the pink (cobaltian) layer is a phantom crystal showing yellow (cadmian) color. I have not seen this combination before.
