Cerussite

Item Description

Two, glassy, sharp, distinctively different cerussite crystals are aesthetically attached to the gossan matrix on this showy specimen from Tsumeb. The "tower" crystal, at 1.8 cm, is sharply terminated, gemmy, complete all-around and has fine variable smoky color. Nearly pristine, with just a bit of termination edge wear. The lower crystal, at 2.2 cm, is a pristine, doubly terminated cyclic-twin. It is also very glassy, gemmy and has fine variable smoky color. There is one clean repair, as the cyclic-twin as been reattached to the matrix. Cute stuff!
