Item Description
Tsumeb cerussites are among the world's best and this is striking, sculptural miniature example. The intensely reticulated tabular cluster of blades has classic "snowflake" form on both sides. Iron oxide tinting and the dusting of tiny "snowflakes" on the blades really adds character and beauty to this very nifty and classic piece.
