SMITHSONITE (Ref: 22500)

A stunning specimen of yellow colored smithsonite from the famous Berg Aukas, Namibia. It displays sharp and well formed rhombohedral crystals with good translucence and slight gemminess. They form an aesthetic focal point at the top of the small base. The color is very attractive. The crystals have sparkling luster. A balanced, aesthetic arrangement gives this piece strong visual impact from multiple angles. Berg Aukas has produced world-class smithsonite, comparable to that of Tsumeb Mine, and fine specimens displaying both vivid coloration and crisp crystal form have become increasingly rare since the mine’s closure. In excellent condition. On acrylic base., Beautiful smithsonite from Berg Aukas– a treasure for every valuable collection!,
