NO RESERVE PRICE - Wonderful Green Smithsonite Crescent Moon-Shaped on a custom stand - Height: 28 cm - Width: 17.3 cm- 1200 g

Featured is a striking green smithsonite specimen sculpted into a crescent moon shape and mounted on a custom stand, measuring about 28 cm in height and 17.3 cm in width with a weight near 1200 grams. Smithsonite is a zinc carbonate mineral valued among collectors for its vibrant hues—most notably greens, blues, and pinks—and its smooth, botryoidal (grape-like) surfaces. The crescent moon shape artistically showcases the stone's unique iridescent qualities and ample surface area for color appreciation. Smithsonite forms through secondary mineralization in oxidized zinc ore deposits, making it an interesting mineralogical specimen. Mounting on a stand facilitates display while protecting the mineral, making it suitable for collectors and enthusiasts interested in rare and aesthetically pleasing mineral forms. The combination of natural mineral beauty with artistic shaping makes this piece standout as both a scientific specimen and decorative object.
