Reticulated Cerussite (illustrated - Shields Flynn Coll.)

Item Description

Classic, glassy, adamatine lustre reticulated cerussite crystal clusters are very aesthetically set on the large matrix plate on this impressive specimen from Tsumeb. The dramatic, central tower-like cluster is 6.7 cm tall and the parallel-growth pair on the left are a super compliment. Nearly pristine, with only a few gently bruised blades. Formerly in the Cors De Bruin Collection, a longtime Tsumeb miner who accumulated a large collection and became a mineral dealer in the 1970s. He acquired the piece from native Bantu miners. Ex Shields Flynn Collection and illustrated on Page 27 of his 2018 self-published book, Minerals of Namibia - From the Collection of Shields and Frances Flynn. An outstanding and excellent large matrix cerussite valued at $2000
