Item Description

A sculptural and classic cyclically-twinned cerussite thumbnail from famed Tsumeb. The very glassy, transparent to translucent colorless crystal has classic adamantine, that accentuates the striking different sized "limbs" of this cutie. The limbs on the left side are very nearly pristine, with only a narrrow broken blade at the top. The large central twin with the skeletal face and the upper right twin are pristine. The end of the lower right twin is broken. This remains a classic and very aesthetic cerussite cyclic-twin thumbnail from the Shields Flynn Collection.
