What an amazing sample of richly pink cobaltoan smithsonite! A vug in galena and tetrahedrite ore is filled with sharp and well modified smithsonite crystals of altering size. A 20mm wide crystal is placed right in the centre of the piece and gives it a clear focal point of interest. Smaller crystals around form a pleasing contrast and make a nice balance. No damage to all crystals in the vug.
