Superb specimen featuring beautiful green colour smithsonite in combination with small cerussite crystals on a white dolomite bed from Tsumeb!

There, the unlikely combination of several geological factors made possible the occurrence of a wide variety of finely crystallized mineral species, to such and extent that this deposit set the highest international standards for several species over the second half of the last century.
