This is a larger than normal Smithsonite from Tsumeb mine and forms an attractive larger cabinet-sized flesh-pink crystal-coated rib. The crystals are lenticular in form occurring as thin blades reaching 6 mm on edge and covering three sides of the specimen. Most of these crystals are aggregated in rosetted forms and are in very good condition.
