Item Description

Pyromorphite and cerussite combinations are RARE from this historic world-famous lead mine, closed in 1913. A classic, lustrous, parallel-growth, tapered two-tone brown Ems "barrel", brown body with light brown termination, is dramatically capped by a 1.8 cm glassy, doubly terminated cerussite blade. A really cute, rare and desirable 360-degree combination thumbnail from this famed locale and an East Coast collection. Comes with a Hugh Ford label dating from 1946-57.
