Item Description

Glassy, bluish anglesite blades are festooned on the matrix and are artistically set on the jauntily placed, cyclically-twinned cerussite crystal on this showy combination small cabinet from the famous Tsumeb Mine. The glassy, translucent, gray cerussite is complete all-around and has only a lightly dinged corner on the right front. Anglesite and cerussite combinations in this richness are not that common from Tsumeb and this is a highly representative piece.
