An interesting association, as copper and cerussite occur only rarely together even at this prolific locality and then in sparse association, in almost all cases. This piece features thick, gemmy cerussite crystals in a large mass of copper, and thus is unusual enough to warrant inclusion in their rarities suite because of it. There is some minor chipping to the cerussite crystals, hence the low price, but it still displays beautifully and is important for the richness of the combination. 5 x 5 x 3.5 cm
