Item Description

Pretty creamy-yellow crystals of chrome cerussite richly and attractively cover one end of the vuggy matrix of nearly solid cerussite on this very showy and excellent specimen from the important find at the Daoping Mine a few years back. The crystals are quite lustrous and translucent, and measure to a fairly large for the locale, 2.0 cm. The scattering of powder-blue plumbogummite and malachite is a super accent and makes for a great combination specimen. Chrome cerussite is quite uncommon worldwide and this is a fine example from this famous locale. Valued at $400-600 for richness, quality and combination.
