Item Description

An amazing gem, water-clear, cyclic-twinned, cerussite crystal is beautifully accented by a well-placed field of sparkly, apple-green duftite crystals. The form of the adamantine-luster cerussite is steller and all faces are gem. A spectacular 360-degree cutie, that is essentially pristine, with only infinitesimal bruising to the top crystal edge. Ex Will Henderson Collection, a well-known, longtime mineral author and collector. He was formerly a columnist for the Mineralogical Record. It looks like faceted leaded Steuben crystal and is a killer thumbnail.
