Item Description
This unusual pseudomorph combination specimen is a rare classic of Broken Hill and is actually very aesthetic. This is one of the sharpest and prettiest (for the size) we have seen. The very sharp anglesites have been replaced by glassy cerussite, retained their 3-dimensional chisel-shaped form and have a goethite coating. The matrix is cerussite and secondary cerussite later grew upon the earlier layer which adds a bit of sparkle and color contrast. Ex. Scott Kleine Collection. Valued at $900-1000.
