Item Description

A glorious, gem, V-twin cerussite from Tsumeb. The extremely well-formed, water-clear crystal has rich smoky color and diamond-like, adamantine luster. A couple of the faces are preferentially striated and frosted. A bit of scattered bruising and contacting are noted, but certainly has minimal impact to the display quality. This is an exceptional, 360-degree, Tsumeb cerussite with very fine gemminess, color and sculptural shape. Valued at $1000. You could add a "zero", if it was just that touch more pristine, though it is certainly fine and impressive nonetheless.
