Item Description

Adorable miniature cyclic-twinned matrix cerussite from famed, extinct Tsumeb. The striking, variably-sized cerussite blades have sharp spearpoint to wedge-like terminations. Preferential frosting covers some prism faces, partially hiding the classic, glassy adamantine luster of translucent smoky crystals. The pleasing, complementary matrix "finger" is composed of sparkly micro Smithsonites strikingly accented with patches of bright green Arsentsumebite or Bayldonite. Nearly pristine, with only gentle bruising to termination edges. A classic and very showy Tsumeb matrix twinned cerussite.
