Item Description

A classic lustrous "snowflake"-twinned / reticulated Cerussite on matrix from the famous locality at Tsumeb. The piece has superb form with incredibly well-defined faces, a light smoky hue and a GEMMY interior. The twin is actually doubly-terminated, as both sides are complete. It's in excellent condition, with no real damage, save a bit of roughness on the underside where it was removed from the pocket wall. It's displays beautifully as you can see from the photos, and it a fantastic full sized miniature that would make a superb addition to any collection. 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. We have this piece priced in the inventory at $2,000.
