Large single Willemite crystal. Complete all around and translucent. The termination has alot of etching but there are flat, smooth areas showing. An outstanding thumbnail for the species from an obscure locality. From MINDAT: 'Star Zinc Mine is a rich zinc silicate deposit 18 km N of Lusaka, which was intermittently mined for several decades up to 1992'. Ex. Chuck Trantham collection.
