Item Description

Cerussite is an uncommon accessory from this world-class pyromorphite mine. A cluster of ivory blades, to about 1.3 cm, is tucked in a cleft with pyromorphite crystals and more cerussite sections are noted on the edge of the large massive quartz matrix on this showy and rare combination. Multi-generational fields and sprays of variably-sized, beautiful gemmy apple-green to yellow-green hexagonal prisms to spindles are attractively scattered on the scuptural matrix. Self-collected by Paul Zerfass # 893.
