Pink Cobaltoan Smithsonite from the Tsumeb mine in Namibia is always a collector's favourite and this small miniature is a terrific example. Rounded, bubble gum-pink translucent Smithsonite crystals with a brushed satin lustre form a compact cluster over a Calcite and Galena-rich matrix. The Smithsonite crystals average 1 cm wide with adjacent faces varying between smooth and randomly etched. A delightful Cobaltoan Smithsonite from Tsumeb.
