Item Description

An aesthetic, cyclic-twin cerussite miniature from Tsumeb. The broad colorless blades are very gemmy, have adamantine luster and the faces have intense stepped-growth. The broad blade is partially contacted, but is essentially pristine. The secondary blade has trivial edge bruising and the adjacent broken blade is noted. Irregardless, this remains a very showy, three-sided example of this classic form.
