Item Description

A wonderful and attractive lead mineral association specimen from the famous Daoping Mine. Pretty creamy-yellow crystals of chrome cerussite are aesthetically set on both the matte-finish, platy galena and on the matrix crust. Scattered crusts of powder-blue plumbogummite are a very nice accent. This excellent piece features the source primary lead ore galena with the two secondary lead oxides and is from the important find at the Daoping Mine a few years back. Chrome cerussite is quite uncommon worldwide and this is a fine combination example from this famous locale. Valued at $300-500 for richness, quality and combination.
