A unique, uncommon Smithsonite specimen enriched by Cadmium to give the specimen its pleasing mustard-yellow coloration. This double-sided Wenshan material has a silky sheen and a “wet” look when turned in light. A beautiful specimen of the Cadmium variety of Smithsonite that is visually appealing and well-balanced! This is the last piece that I have from the small lot acquired in January 2021.  Comes with a high quality copper wired display stand as pictured.
