Item Description

A hard to find example of Cerussite from the famous Black Pine Mine in Montana. The piece hosts a few sharp, prismatic, silvery-grey crystals of Pyromorphite on minor matrix. If you're a Cerussite collector, this is a great opportunity to add an obscure locality specimen to your collection. One of the very few pieces of the material that I have seen from the locality, and despite a little bit of roughness, still a good representation of a species that is not common associated with Montana!
