Item Description

A glassy, translucent, adamantine luster, cyclically-twinned, cerussite crystal from Tsumeb. This fat crystal is complete all-around and has very nifty inclusions of micro, hair-like, spinel-twinned, copper crystal clusters. Very nearly pristine. The frontal view and one side are pristine. The back is contacted (most copper crystals here), but has no damage, per se. The other side is contacted, with only very negligible bruising. A rare and very showy Tsumeb combination specimen. Ex Howard Belsky Collection. Value???
