Cerussite on Wulfenite and Dolomite

Item Description

Cerussite is one of Tsumeb's most cherished species, and among those the twinned crystals are highly coveted. This GEMMY, cyclic-twinned Cerussite is 1.4 cm across, and it has the form and outstanding, vitreous luster that you would want. It is nestled perfectly in a field of bladed, 6mm Wulfenites that themselves are decorated with hundreds upon hundreds of micro Dolomite rhombs. The combination of the Cerussite's bright-white fluorescence set against fiery red-orange of the Wulfenites/Dolomites is dramatic and stunning. This miniature is a fine, aesthetic combination piece that presents three Tsumeb species simply and elegantly. it could easily be trimmed to a shockingly fine thumbnail specimen, with a 1.4 cm cerussite twin balanced on matrix for a thumbnail matrix specimen!
