Item Description

A classic and fine quality reticularted / twinned Cerussite specimen from the famous locality at Tsumeb. The piece is extremely gemmy, with a lovely internal smoky hue along with sharp, well-formed, striated, lustrous faces. With the price of Tsumeb specimens rising daily, this is a great opportunity to snag a classic specimen from what is considered by most people to be the most prolific mineral locality in the world. Very minor roughness, but still good quality and very show. Hard to photograph, BETTER in person. From the worldwide collection of John Arnaud, formerly of Westcliffe, Colorado. Valued at $700.
