This rare variety of light yellow color Smithsonite is known as 'Cadmium Smithsonite'. The element Cadmium gives it this color. It's a Tsumeb classic that is damage free all around with high luster crystals. Weight is 684 grams or 1lb, 8oz. A beautiful example from the World Class mineral locality of Tsumeb. This was on my website at $350.
