Description:Cerussite from Tsumeb is one of the most classic, and more difficutl to obtain species in fine specimen. This piece features a translucent, white/grey, sharp, lustrous, cyclic twinned crystals of Cerussite associated with green Arsentsumebite on the reverse side. A very attractive miniature specimen, and good quality for the material, despite a bit of roughness. Tsumeb specimens are rising in value by the minute it seems. This piece comes from the collection of Richard A. Kosnar, and his catalogue number can be seen on the reverse side of the specimen.
