Cerussite (gemmy smoky colored twin)

Item Description

A splendid miniature sized piece from a discovery in 2022 at the famous Mfouati Mine in Republic of the Congo. This lead/copper locality is well-known for several fine quality secondary ore minerals, and has produced the finest (though limited) Cerussites from the entire country. This is a first-class example of these elusive Cerussites featuring a beautiful, well-formed, distinct reticulated win of gemmy/translucent, light golden smoky colored Cerussite, aesthetically sitting atop a bit of matrix. No damage that I can find, save a few points of attachment on the back/base. A showy and good quality example of these uncommon Cerussite specimens. Ex Brian Kosnar specimen, valued $1,800.
