Cerussite (twins) with Barite on Hematite (ex Rolando Gioia Collection)

Item Description

Sharp, lustrous, translucent, "smoky"-colored, well-formed, twinned Cerussite crystals are associated with lightly iron stained cream-colored bladed Baryte crystals on black Hematite matrix which makes for a nice small cabinet specimen. The Cerussite crystals measure up to 2.7 cm across and are even a bit gemmy in areas. From the collection of Rolando Gioia (a contributor to new definitive book on Brazilian minerals: "Minerais e Pedras Preciosas do Brasil").
