Item Description

A beautifully sculptural, three-sided, cyclically-twinned cerussite miniature from Tsumeb. The stout, glassy, chisel-terminated, adamantine luster crystals have colorless bodies beautifully accented with smoky tips and the stepped-growth features add pizzazz. This cutie is a complete all-around floater and is in good shape. The bit of bruising to the three terminations are noted, but is certainly only a modest detraction. Classic and excellent Tsumeb cerussite.
