Item Description
A RARE, showy and rich cerussite specimen from this old exctinct Ag-Au-Pb-Cu mine. This impressive, hefty curved crust is composed nearly solidly of densely intergrown to isolated, glassy cyclically-twinned cerussite crystals with textbook adamantine luster and a bit of limonite as a nice contrast. Very nifty, seldom available old material in this richness and quality. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection and purchased in 1978. A MUST for the locality or species collector. Value??
