Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Smithsonite
Locality: Tsumeb Mine (Tsumcorp Mine), Tsumeb, Otjikoto (Oshikoto) Region, Namibia (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: small cabinet, 6.9 x 5.4 x 3.3 cm
Smithsonite var. Cadmian
An impressive example of the rare yellow (cadmian rich) varietal of smithsonite, from the most important locality for crystallized examples of this style. These came out of Tsumeb in a very few small pockets, through the late 1970s. Such pieces were always rare, and highly valued even locally. Crystals of this sharpness, and in such nice clusters, are uncommon today. This piece is complete alla round, and very 3-dimensional (more so in person), except only a small damaged knob at the bottom. It is, in person, slightly more brown-yellow than yellow-brown, as is typical for the finds. From an old German collection.
