Item Description
A very choice single V-twin of lustrous Cerussite from the famous early 2000s finds opening up in the northern Kaokoveld. This piece, a full 3.7 cm wide, has excellent aesthetics, and the rich pearly luster captures the eye. Most people so rarely see a such a good Cerussite from this region that they would never have guessed this was the locality but for the gemmy Dioptase crystals attached. In fact, the largest of these associated Dioptase crystals is .5 cm long. I was amazed myself. A very good and impressive combination piece for this locale! valued $400-500
