5.8 x 4.5 x 2 cm. A cerussite twin up to 1 cm, with good luster and clarity. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
3.9 x 3.3 x 0.7 cm. This cerussite has a fantastic striated luster and beautiful clarity. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
2.5 x 1.8 x 1.1 cm. A sharp thumbnail cerussite with very good clarity in this well-defined twin. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
3.9 x 3 x 1.2 cm. This cerussite six-ling is complete all the way around, though the crystals have been truncated and somewhat flattened. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
2.5 x 2.5 x 1.5 cm. A complete six-ling, this crystal has sets of twins of various development and length. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
4.1 x 3.9 x 2 cm. Very nice blades of cerussite, both large and small. Given more development, the blades would have continued their reticulated growth. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
4.2 x 3.9 x 3.5 cm. This is a fine reticulated cerussite with very good ‘snowflake’ development. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
3.2 x 3.2 x 1.4 cm. A cluster of intergrown sets of cerussite twins, with very good luster and color. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
4 x 3.9 x 1.9 cm. A 2.2 cm blade of Cerussite, with fine luster and good clarity/color. The main crystal is highlighted by several accessory twins. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
4.2 x 1.7 x 1.5 cm. A V-twin of Cerrusite with excellent form, clarity, and luster. At the base is some minor matrix. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
5.6 x 2.3 x 2 cm. Sharp, lustrous, and large (5 cm), this crystal has amazing clarity in the portions not included by the sulfides. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
8.3 x 5.3 x 3.2 cm. A blue specimen with unusual platy azurite crystals to 1 cm richly covering the display face. It is associated with minor green Arsentsumebite which provides just a touch of accent and contrast and is a visually bright and showy specimen, not dark as are so many azurites. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
4.8 x 2.9 x 2.7 cm. Clear, gemmy cerussite crystals are overlain by deep blue-green spheres of rosasite which, with the naked eye, looks like a silky, almost velvety coating. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
5.1 x 2.5 x 2.3 cm. You don’t often find such nicely developed crystals of this habit of Cerussite and this has very good clarity and color, as well. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
3.0 x 2.5 x 1.25 cm
This is a fine gemmy crystal of cerussite with a sharp and distinct phantom. Note the stark difference in crystal habit between the phantom and the outer crystal. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
