Item Description
Cerussite from Tsumeb is one of the most classic, and more difficult to obtain in fine specimens. This piece features translucent, hefty, silvery-white colored, sharp, lustrous, cyclic twinned crystals of Cerussite with minor Dolomite. A very attractive thumbnail specimen, and good quality for the material. The presentation and form are both excellent, and save a few tiny imperfections, the piece is mostly damage free. Tsumeb specimens are rising in value by the minute it seems, and even attractive miniatures like this are high in demand as little is available on the market now.
