Cerussite with Barite (ex Tom Campbell Collection)

Item Description

Sharp, lustrous, yellow-golden to smoky colored, cyclic twinned crystals of Cerussite are associated with orange bladed Barite on matrix from this locality which is best known for its amazing Vanadinite specimens. The piece is in great shape on the display side, and some of the Cerussite crystals are rather gemmy in areas. An attractive miniature association specimen of this classic and distinctive material from Mibladen. From the worldwide collection of Tom Campbell.
