Item Description

A 1.6 cm, gemmy, light brown cerussite crystal with classic adamantine luster is aesthetically set on the mounded plate of oxide-tinted barite blades from Mibladen. The cerussite is pristine. The sculptural piece looks like a fish with a fat head and an upraised tail in one view! An added bonus on both the cerussite and the patches along the edge is the galena altering to cerussite! Sulfide to secondary mineral. Bright yellow cerussite fluorescence. Classic, showy and excellent combination material from Mibladen.
