Item Description

A classic, very shapely, extremely fat, "snowflake" cerussite from Tsumeb. The form of the glassy, adamantine luster blades is striking. Complete all-around, with only very trivial periphery wear. The contact on the back is out of sight. Ex Ed Ruggiero Collection and purchased from the Zweibels of Mineral Kingdom in Dallas in November, 1978. Valued at $1250-1500.
