Item Description

Beautiful soft yellow and blue-green crystals of chrome-beqaring Cerussite attractively cover the matrix on this fine specimen from the important find at the Daoping Mine a few years back. Some of the crystals are quite lustrous and translucent, though others have a matte luster. The largest crystal measure up to 1.0 cm. Chrome Cerussite is quite uncommon worldwide and this is a fine example from this famous locale. Very little damage and showy, better in person, especially up close. Valued at $900.
