Reticulated Cerussite (classic form)

Item Description

An adorable reticulated cerussite miniature from Tsumeb. The form of this cutie is striking, with the center blade, two large opposing blades and all of the smaller blades. The lustrous, translucent, broad blades have typical adamantine luster, nifty stepped-growth faces and the clusters of botryoidal oxides or sulfides are a fine stark contrast and accent. A couple of broken blades are noted on one side of the base and you barely notice the one spot of periphery wear on one side. This piece looks outrageous from either side! Choice and classic material valued at $750-950.
