Cerussite (ex Rich Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

Cerussite from Tsumeb is one of the most classic, and more difficutl to obtain species in fine specimen. This piece features GEM/gemmy smoky to colorless, sharp, lustrous, cyclic twinned crystals of Cerussite on matrix. A very attractive miniature specimen, and despite some damage, it's good quality for the material, especially from the standpoint of gemminess. Tsumeb specimens are rising in value by the minute it seems. This piece comes from the collection of Richard A. Kosnar, and his catalogue number can be seen on the underside of the specimen. Valued at $500.
