Cerussite (uncommon locale - fluorescent) ex Bob &Evan Jones Coll's

Item Description

Glassy, brown, bullet-shaped, cyclically-twinned cerussite crystals with adamantine luster richly and attractively cover the plate and are dramatically accented with a shard of matrix on this very aesthetic small cabinet from this obscure Arizona mine. Cerussite in this richness and quality is RARE from here and this is a very fine piece from an Arizona collection. Formerly in the Bob and Evan Jones Collections and collected in 1988 (both father and son are well known Arizona specialists). Bruce Murphy Collection, until now. Yellow fluorescence.
