Doubly terminated Cerussite (Whitmore Coll.)

Item Description

A striking, unusual cerussite from Tsumeb. The pearlescent, lustrous crystal appears to be doubly terminated, but is in fact, a six-sided, cyclic-twin with one very dominant, fat arm. The major termination is an impressive, sharp, six-sided pyramid. Complete all-around and very nearly pristine, with only trivial termination edgewear. A bit of attached matrix is a nice complete. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection. The form and luster make this a desirable Tsumeb cerussite.
