A lovely, almost solid mass of pale cerise-pink rhombic Manganoan Smithsonite crystals in a large miniature-sized specimen from the famous Tsumeb mine in Namibia. The individual crystals reach 8 to 9 mm across and show great internal zoning and dispersion of light along with the classic Smithsonite lustre. A very nice example of the desirable pink manganese-bearing Smithsonite for which Tsumeb is famed.
