Item Description

An exquisite cerussite form Iran. This lovely piece exhibits classic reticulated, sixling-twinning in the 'snowflake' form. The glassy blades have adamantine luster with nice smoky color. In outstanding condition for the crystal complexity and it displays beautifully from several angles, as you can see. From the small 2001 find. Ex Josef Vajdak Collection. Valued at $500-650. It looks like Tsumeb and is just as good.
