Cyclic-twinned Cerussite

Item Description

Supreme adamantine luster and the sharp spearpoint form characterize this striking sculptural blade, part of a cyclically-twinned cerussite crystal, from Tsumeb. The front has impressive stepped-growth and skeletal faces, while the back is as flat as an ironing board! The backlit photos reveal the rich smoky color and translucence of the blade. One lower edge is cleaved. This remains a beautiful cerussite example with fabulous luster and form.
