Item Description
Cerussite from Tsumeb is one of the most classic, and more difficult to obtain in fine specimen. This piece features gemmy, slightly smoky sharp, twinned crystals of Cerussite sitting atop velvety green Malachite, which has pseudomorphed after Azurite. A very attractive small cbinet specimen, and good quality for the material. There is a bit of roughness here and there, but good representation for the locality. Tsumeb specimens are rising in value by the minute it seems, and pieces like this are in demand.
