Collection of Pseudo Gems Thrills Museum Visitors
A Smithsonian exhibit at the U S National Museum showcases about 900 specimens of pseudo gems from the copper mining district of former German southwest Africa. The crystals imitate emeralds and sapphires in color and size but are softer, formed from minerals like azurite cerussite and dioptase. The collection, gathered as a hobby by a former South African mine superintendent, is described as unique worldwide by Smithsonian mineralogists.
