Item Description
An elegant and adorable small cabinet cerussite bowtie from this famous mining area. The milky blades have winsome classic adamantine lustre. Very nearly pristine, with only a few broken tips noted on the myriad of terminations. This famous and ancient Pb-Zn-Ag mining area was exploited during the Bronze Age by Phoenicians and Carthaginians, later by Romans, active in the Middle Ages, with modern industrial activity beginning in 1848 and finally ceasing in 1991 (MINDAT).
