Cyclic-twinned Cerussite ex. Belsky Coll.

Item Description

Fabulous, absolutely adamantine luster on these beautifully striated prisms form a striking, highly sculptural and aesthetic cyclically-twinned cerussite from Tsumeb. The crystals have this grayish-white shimmer/chatoyance, that is just amazing. The crystals are translucent to water-clear and both the front and back look great. Embedded matrix shows where the contacts are at, but there is really very little damage! A couple of termination edges (on the back side) are gently bruised. Outstanding and classic Tsumeb cerussite from the Howard Belsky Collection. Valued at $2000. A very nice Christmas spiker.
