Item Description

A superb and aesthetic, trident-shaped, cyclic-twinned cerussite crystal from the famous and now-closed Tsumeb Mine. The sharp stout gray cerussite blades have classic adamatine luster and are translucent to transparent. The basal crystal is doubly terminated and the bit of attached sulfide matrix adds character. A pristine, classic, outstanding and rarely encountered Tsumeb cerussite style, this is simply a superb miniature. Valued at $2000 and worth it.
