Snowflake Cerussite - rare locale

Item Description

An exquisite cerussite from Iran. This lovely piece exhibits classic and most striking, reticulated, sixling-twinning in the 'snowflake' form. The fat glassy blades have adamantine luster with nice smoky color. The piece is in outstanding condition, with just a scattered bit of bruising or broken crystals. It displays beautifully from either side, as you can see. From the small 2001 find - Vein 5, 200m Level of the mine. Valued at $500-600. It looks like Tsumeb and is just as good.
