Smithsonite - gemmy scalenohedral crystals
Tsumeb
Otjikoto Region, Namibia
7 x 6 x 2.9 CM (cabinet)
price: $1050
Winter 2016-17
Yellow-hued crystals of transparent Smithsonite up to 2.5 cm long are sticking out in all directions on this complex yet esthetic piece. In outstanding condition overall, there is one crystal with a broken termination that will be hidden on most logical display angles. All of the other crystals are quite perfect. Without analysis I am not sure if this should be called Cadmian Smithsonite as many yellow examples are labelled. Choice and attractive.
