Item Description

Here we have a beautiful and classic specimen of Cerussite from this storied locality. It hosts a few GEM/gemmy, well-formed, stepped / striated, slightly smoky orthorhombic twinned crystals with gorgeous form, sharp faces and excellent luster. The piece is very well crystallized, and is in very good shape overall, despite a few nicks. It looks better in person, and truly stands out because of its three dimension appeal along with sculptural appearance. These specimens are no longer being found, and they truly represent some of the most distinctive and eye-catching Cerussite specimens around. Valued at $695.
