Cyclic-twinned Cerussite (Willy Israel Coll.)

Item Description

Striking, sharp, adamatine luster, cyclically-twinned cerussite crystals form a very aesthetic arborescent, two-sided small cabinet from Tsumeb. The stout crystals are translucent and have unusual form. Some of the crystal faces are strangely etched and the backside has an oxide coating, adding much character. Complete all-around, the broken "branch" on one side of the central crystal and trival termination edge wear are minimal detractions. This fine piece displays great from either side. Classic and excellent Tsumeb cerussite. Ex Willy Israel Collection and valued at $1200.
