Item Description
This striking cyclically-twinned cerussite thumbnail has exceptional form, glassy adamantine luster, fine translucent smoky color and is beautifully striated. The bit of attached pink matrix adds much character (rhombic calcite, dolomite or smithsonite with a wee bit of green mottramite). The front is very nearly pristine, with only trivial edge bruising. An aesthetic, classic and fine Tsumeb cerussite thumbnail.
