Cerussite coated w/ Malachite & Cuprite (Lockhart Coll.)

Item Description

A very unusually-shaped, almost octahedral looking, cyclically-twinned cerussite crystal from Tsumeb. The lustrous, glassy/smoky crystal is richly and beautifully dusted with tiny malachite-coated cuprite grains. Complete all-around, the one contacted end is out of sight. This is an excellent, very showy and uncommon, association specimen from this famous and now-closed mine. Ex Brent Lockhart Collection and from the F. De Milon Collection, a Tsumeb miner from 1945-1975. Obviously older material from the upper levels of the mine. Valued $750-1000
