Smithsonite with Cerussite on Sphalerite and Galena Tsumeb, Namibia 4.35cm x 3.53cm x 2.91cm Ex. Frank J. Tobey II Collection

Description/Interesting Notes: A unique example of smithsonite from Tsumeb!!! This specimen consists of a matrix of sphalerite with some galena that is nearly covered with large, complexly flattened crystals that measure up to over 1.8cm in association with a lone prismatic crystal of cerussite!!! The crystals are sharp and lustrous with marked translucence!!! The cerussite crystal is lustrous and sharp, with a somewhat curious appearance!!! Interestingly, the matrix is comprised mostly of sphalerite, with some galena in association!!! The areas of exposed matrix between the smithsonite crystals actually exhibits some crudely crystallized sphalerite!!! Upon close examination there are also some very intruiging submillimeter crystals to be found scattered about the specimen as well!!! A very interesting specimen indeed!!! Although there is some minor damage, the specimen still displays quite handsomely as you can see!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
