Cyclic-twinned Cerussite (Stoudt Coll.)

Item Description

Supremely glassy, gemmy to translucent, smoky, intergrown, cyclically-twinned cerussite crystals have striking stepped-growth faces and adamantine luster on this very sculptural specimen from Touissit. One contacted face has small embedded barite blades. Three contacted faces are noted, but can be strongly minimized by the display view. Older material from the 1970s or 80s and uncommon in this style. This cutie has a multitude of display views! Ex Dave Stoudt Collection.
