These bright apple-green copper-rich crystals seem to glow from within. The largest Smithsonite crystal is a full 2 cm across. Tsumeb as most people know has been arguably the most exciting copper rich mine ever worked. The sheer variety of minerals and various crystal forms is truly amazing. Within this "seam," all the crystals are nicely intact without damage.
