A beautifully coloured Cuprian Smithsonite of light and bright, zingy apple-green from the Tsumeb mine in Namibia. A triangular bed of first-generation, pale apple-green Cuprian Smithsonite crystals of 1 to 2 mm are almost completely overgrown by the later, richer apple-green, broad spiky crystals that are typically up to 7 mm long. A small cluster of colourless, lustrous glassy Cerussite crystals is perched at one side. A lovely Cuprian Smithsonite of a delicate, yet eye-catching colour.
