Item Description

Pretty green olivenite microcrystals nearly totally encrust the 3-dimensional two-sided plate of sparkly cerussite. A few glassy clusters and scattered individual cerussites give away the fairly hefty underlying matrix. Choice older combination material from an East Coast collection and comes with a John Albanese label dating from 1953-68. Seldom-seen combination material from famous Tsumeb.
