Item Description

This unusually elongated, doubly terminated, cyclically-twinned cerussite crystal looks like a stick figure! The very adamantine luster, glassy, translucent crystal has nice smoky color and one side is peppered with tiny calcite rhombs. Complete all-around. A very modest bit of edge and side wear is noted, but has very minimal impact to the quality of this showy piece from the Art Soregaroli Collection. Classic and excellent Tsumeb cerussite.
