Item Description

Pretty creamy-yellow crystals of chrome cerussite richly and attractively cover both sides of the sturdy gossan matrix on this very showy and excellent specimen from the important find at the Daoping Mine a few years back. The crystals are quite lustrous and translucent, and measure to 1.5 cm. The powder-blue plumbogummite is a super accent and makes for a great combination specimen. Chrome cerussite is quite uncommon worldwide and this is a fine example from this famous locale.
