Smithsonite From Tsumeb, Namibia - Fluorescent!

Description

Smithsonite From Tsumeb, Namibia - Fluorescent!
2 1/2 x 2 x 1/2 inches
I acquired this attractive Smithsonite from the Tsumeb Mine in Namibia in 2014.
It has unusually beautiful fluorescence for a Tsumeb Smithsonite, it actually has two colors.  I took 2 pics - one with more and one with less Short Wave UV. It's a good-sized piece that also looks nice in daylight. I included some of the seller's original pics along with my handheld pics to show it's size and it looks different under the different lighting.
I've been collecting Tsumeb fluorescent minerals since 2004 as part of my 16 year Geo Safari Research Project on the fluorescent minerals of Africa.

his piece is a fine example of the complex mineralogy that was produced by the Tsumeb copper mine.
The Tsumeb mine is no longer producing minerals but in it's day it was famous for the very high number of mineral species found there. They are often among the best in the world. Tsumeb mineral specimens are going up in value because there won't be any more, only what's available on the market.
