Item Description
Cerussite from Tsumeb is one of the most classic, and more difficult to obtain in fine specimen. This piece features translucent, grey, sharp, lustrous, reticulated / cyclic twinned crystals of Cerussite with minor Dolomite. A very attractive thumbnail specimen, and good quality for the material. The two main terminations are damage free, but there is a bit of roughness here and there. Tsumeb specimens are rising in value by the minute it seems, and even attractive thumbnails like this are in demand.
