Item Description

A classy, thick, glassy, cyclically-twinned cerussite crystal with rich smoky color from the famous and now-closed Tsumeb Mine. These thick, transparent to translucent blades have classic form and are reticulated. Periphery wear is noted, mostly at the base and is only a modest detraction. This remains a highly representative and displayable, two-sided Tsumeb cerussite. Classic material.
