Item Description
Cerussite from Tsumeb is one of the most classic, and more difficutl to obtain species in fine specimen. This piece features GEM/gemmy white/colorless sharp, lustrous, cyclic twinned crystals of Cerussite up to 1.6 cm across on matrix. A very attractive miniature specimen, and good quality for the material, especially from the standpoint of gemminess. Tsumeb specimens are rising in value by the minute it seems. This piece comes from the collection of Richard A. Kosnar. Valued at $600.
