Cerussite and Primary Malachite (Rukin Jelks Coll.)

Item Description

A classic, rich and showy combination specimen from this famous Arizona locale. Most of the matrix is finely reticulated, adamatine luster cerussite. Strikingly and aesthetically accenting the vuggy cerussite is a large vug filled with beautifully chatoyant fans of primary malachite needles, with the backside hosting an impressive, 3.3 cm long, fern-like, arborescent spray of primary malachite needles with many smaller nearby sprays. Excellent, old-time combination material from Tiger and the Rukin Jelks Collection.
