Cerussite ps. after DT Anglesite (RARE - old)

Item Description

A rare miniature pseudomorph from the famed Erupcion Mine at Los Lamentos. Pink cerussite has replaced a sculptural cluster of sharp orthorhombic anglesite crystals. The impressive large crystal is doubly terminated and is essentially pristine. The piece is from the upper Erupcion Mine workings and they can range from partial to complete pseudos. Thanks to Dr. Peter Megaw, well-known Mexico specialist for the additional information. See the 2003 Mineralogical Record article in Mexico Special Issue III, Vol. 34, No. 6. A very fine 360-degree older pseudomorph example from the locale with a 1974 date on the label. Valued at $495 by the previous dealer.
