Item Description

An outstanding, very aesthetic Tsumeb combination miniature from Tsumeb. A fabulous reticulated cerussite is sculpturally set between two upright, sharp, cyclically twinned crystals with another cyclically-twinned crystal behind. The lustrous, translucent, coloress cerussites have frosted faces. The artistic stalk and matrix are covered with sparkly spherical aggregates of green mottramite crystals. The three primary cerussites have only the most trivial, barely noticeable, termination bruising. This is an examplary combination example of the classic species and locale. Valued at $1500-1750 and worth it. Ex Marty Lewadny Collection.
