Item Description

Tsumeb Cerussites with cyclic twinning are highly coveted for their form. The Cerussite twins, which are translucent with good luster, rest on a bed of micro Mottramite, all on matrix. Overall, the Cerussite is in excellent condition with only minor edgewear. The largest of the twins is 2.8 cm across. This is a fine representation of the cyclic twinning habit, with good visual appeal.
