Size: 10.7×7.4×4.6 cm
Species: Smithsonite
Locality: Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Oshikoto Region, Namibia
Description: This is a real oddity if you are a smithsonite collector. The specimen displays both a pink and a yellow color in a single specimen which is quite odd. This would typically be attributed as cobaltoan for the pink color and cadmium as causing the yellowish orange. An attractive specimen for anyone with a focus on Tsumeb or smithsonite. Ex. Ken Porter, Eugene Foord
