Cerussite ps. After Anglesite (RARE - old) ex Dr. Phillips Coll.

Item Description

A desirable, showy and RARE classic from Broken Hill. An aesthetic cluster of blocky, sharp, spearpoint anglesites have been pseudomorphed by bladed cerussite and retains the anglesite form. The pseudos were subsequently coated with two-tone brown and black limonite or manganese oxides. The pseudos rest on sooty layered manganese oxide matrix. The sharpness of the pseudos and contrast between the cerussite and the oxide coatings is remarkable. A most unusual and rare pseudomorph from the Dr. Barratt Phillips Collection.
