Item Description

Extremely stout, tapered, glassy, smoky cyclically-twinned cerussite blades with frosted faces form a dramatic and excellent two-sided classic from Tsumeb. Scattered termination bruising along with one broken end are noted, but this remains an impressive and highly representative example of the species and locale, with notably large crystals. Heft lead ore at 272 grams mass.
