Item Description
A beautiful and certainly uncommon gem quality Cerussite crystal from the renowned copper deposit at Kimbedi in the Congo. Typically, the Cerussites from this locality are white and nearly opaque. The important aspect of this Cerussite is the fact that it is NOT opaque, but actually GEM / translucent quality! The piece is pretty attractive up close, despite a few nicks. The color is a light smoky hue. This piece came direct in a lot of Dioptase specimens from Kimbedi Don't miss out on this rare and beautiful display specimen. This is a GOOD one from Kimbedi, with wonderful gemminess, don't miss out on it!
