Item Description

Stylish cyclically-twinned cerussite crystals are attractively clustered atop the hefty microcrystalline sulfide matrix on this aesthetic two-sided small cabinet Tsumeb. The glassy, adamantine-luster crystals, to 1.7 cm, are water-clear to translucent and the stepped-growth faces add character. In very fine shape, overall. The bit of noted bruising to a couple of crystals is certainly only a modest detraction to this excellent and classic example of Tsumeb cerussite.
