Item Description

A classic and superb cerussite from Broken Hill with outstanding reticulated form. A true "snowflake" cerussite. The fine blades within the stout, adamantine blades are a sight to behold. The bit gossan matrix is an excellent compliment. Old-time Broken Hill cerussites of this quality rival the best from Tsumeb. The trivial amount of periphery wear in no way effects the multiple display qualities of this exemplary specimen. Seldom on the market and very rarely at auction in this quality. Ex Minette Collection. Fairly valued at $1750-2000.
