Item Description

Beautiful, gemmy and lustrous, yellow, mimetite prisms to 1.0 cm are aesthetically nestled and scattered on a glassy, frosted cyclically-twinned cerussite from Tsumeb. Smaller cerussite blades scattered about are a nifty accent, as is the starkly contrasting, subhedral tennantite crystal. The radiating spray of mimetites is striking. The exquisite mimetite crystals on cerussite make this excellent Tsumeb piece, and periphery wear to the cerussite, in the overall context of this fine piece, is minimal, indeed. Choice combination material from the famed locality and Howard Belsky Collection. SUPERB COMBO specimen. valued $500
