44-RR-14

6.8 x 5 x 3 cm

Pearly rhombohedral Smithsonite crystals with a tannish/gray color dominate a silvery Galena matrix (which probably lends to their color as well). With Tsumeb, almost anything goes! Don’t miss this choice specimen from the eternally popular and long defunct Tsumeb Mine! One of the richest ore bodies in the world, the Tsumeb Mine produced millions of tons of metallic ores as well as numerous varieties of minerals, in all sorts of combinations! This is definitely a keeper!
