Item Description

A showy and very hefty specimen of reticulated cerussite from famed Tsumeb. Sculpturally and densely intergrown large very glassy transparent to translucent smoky crystals with classic adamantine luster and just a bit of matrix comprise this essentially solid cerussite specimen. The stout blades reach 6.0 cm. The presentation face is essentially pristine, with all other faces being contacts or attachments. An impressive large and highly representative example of the species and noted locality. Heavy lead at 684 grams or 1.5 pounds mass.
