Manganoan Smithsonite$750.00

This is a really quite an interesting specimen for a variety of reasons. The first reason is that due to the particular reddish color of the smithsonite and the association with pyrite this specimen would typically be attributed as a manganoan smithsonite rather than a stereotypical cobaltoan smithsonite. These particular manganoan smithsonites were mined 1984-1985 and are much harder to find than the cobaltoan variety. Now I will state that no analysis has been done and this attribution of color due to trace elements at Tsumeb is actually quite a tricky topic and many purist will argue it should be simply called smithsonite. So truly a greatly interesting specimen if you like Tsumeb mineralogy. Ex. Blain Bard
