Item Description

Very glassy, stout, cyclically-twinned cerussite crystals with adamantine luster form a showy and aesthetic two-sided small cabinet from Tsumeb. The transparent to translucent crystals have nifty stepped-growth faces. A fine 360-degree specimen with only a trivial bit of termination bruising. One side is contacted with blebs of embedded matrix, but has very little actual damage. Classic and excellent Tsumeb cerussite.
