Item Description
An exquisite cerussite from Iran. This lovely piece exhibits classic and most striking, reticulated, sixling-twinning in the 'snowflake' form. The glassy blades have adamantine luster with nice smoky color. In excellent condition for the crystal complexity and it displays beautifully from both sides, as you can see. From the small 2001 find - Vein 5, 200m Level of the mine. Valued at $300-400. It looks like Tsumeb and is just as good.
