Item Description
A stunning large cerussite bladed from Tsumeb. This very glassy, essentially transparent giant has classic adamantine luster and rich smoky color. The front has fabulous chevron-shaped growth faces and you can see flashes of gorgeous golden-yellow color, depending on the light. The tapered crystal looks great on the back, too. This spectacular and important Tsumeb cerussite was priced at $7500, before an unfortunate accident chipped the termination. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only trivial edge wear. It is still valued at $2000-2500. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $100, for free.
