Item Description
A beautiful and classic specimen of Cerussite from this storied locality. It hosts several GEM/gemmy, well-formed, prismatic, striated, slightly smoky orthorhombics crystal with gorgeous form, sharp faces and excellent luster sitting on minor matrix. The piece is very well crystallized, and is in very good shape overall. It looks better in person, and truly stands out because of its three dimension appeal along with sculptural appearance. These specimens are no longer being found, and they truly represent some of the most distinctive and eye-catching Cerussite specimens around. Valued at $850.
