7 x 6 x 3.5 cm. This complete-all-around specimen has no damage and consists of mimetite in the process of covering and replacing a previous cluster of reticulated cerussite (it still retains a core of unchanged cerussite). Ex. Sussman Collection.
7.6 x 5 x 3 cm. A geometrically stunning cerussite specimen with unusually thick and unusually glassy crystals. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
5 x 3.1 x 1.5 cm. An unusual sceptered crystal of cerussite! This is quite dramatic, gemmy, and bright. It is complete all around! Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
4.9 x 4.4 x 2.2 cm. This is a very gemmy, twinned cerussite crystal. It is nearly a floater, with just a small bit of matrix attachment in back. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
3.5 x 2.5 x 2 cm. This is a fine example of the rare red cerussites found just once at Tsumeb. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
10.1 x 9.7 x 4.3 cm. A fine example of reticulated Cerussite with large, well developed bladed crystals coated with a chalky, stark white layer of Hydrocerussite (actually, it is probably just starting the process of truly pseudomorphing into the hydrocerussite and that layer is probably an alteration rather than a coating). Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
5.3 x 4.4 x 1.7 cm. This dark Cerussite has been included by sulfides, giving it a deep and attractive brownish color. On top of that, you have an unusual habit for this location and very good pearlescent luster. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
6.9 x 3.7 x 0.9 cm. A combination specimen with Cerussite, Duftite, and Dolomite. All three minerals are well developed. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
4.6 x 3.6 x 1.4 cm. A fine cerussite with good lustre, form, and clarity. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
4.1 x 3.0 x 1.8 cm. This specimen consists of twinned crystals that are in the early stages of reticulation. The color, clarity, and luster are all superb, and the main crystal has a perfect termination and zoning! Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
3.3 x 2.2 x 2.0 cm. A fine cream-gray complex crystal sitting perfectly on reddish-brown matrix. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
5.7 x 1.9 x 1.5 cm. A super-sharp and attractive pseudomorph-in-progress with an excellent habit and interesting and unusual tan color. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
5.9 x 3.6 x 1 cm. Stunning zoning highlights this well-developed cerussite blade. On top of the beautiful zoning, this large crystal is actually doubly-terminated! Ex. Willy Israel Collection.

3.6 x 3.2 x 1.6 cm. A really unusual cerussite, as it has a rich coating ingrained into the surface of microcrystalline malachite and linarite (and possibly other minerals) that give it a rich blue-green color! Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
5.5 x 5 x 2.5 cm. A really unusual cerussite specimen, as it has a rich coating ingrained into the surface of microcrystalline linarite (and possibly other minerals) that give it a rich blue-green color! Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
