Item Description

A very showy, unusual and uncommon style of cerussite from famed Tsumeb and the Art Soregaroli Collection. An aesthetic intergrown cluster of large, sharp, blocky, tapered cerussite crystals has an unusual secondary overgrowth of sparkly, translucent, tiny cerussite crystals. The broken base reveals the underlying crystals are very gemmy, have smoky color and classic adamantine luster. Patches of green duftite are also noted. A complete all-around and pristine, 360-degreen piece. Hefty lead carbonate at 323 grams mass. Value?
