Item Description

A classic and showy combination specimen from the famous and now-closed Tsumeb Mine. Sparkly, sharp, translucent, brown, smithsonite rhombs richly and attractively coat one side of the cluster of adamantine-luster, cyclically-twinned, cerussite crystals. The glassy, large twin has rich smoky color and multiple crystal faces. A striking and excellent, older specimen from the 40-year collection of Harold Urish # 376. Valued at $350.
