Item Description

Glassy, adamatine luster, reticulated cerussite blades with striking stepped-growth faces form an imposing cluster on the galena matrix on this excellent small cabinet combination from famed Tsumeb. The impressive and pristine, large terminated blade is 5.1 cm. The bit of noted periphery wear to smaller crystals is noted, but is barely noticeable in the context of this showy piece with multiple display views. Valued at $1250-1500.
