SOLD
An impressive, UNIQUE and RARE Tsumeb cerussite specimen with a bit of matrix. A glassy with adamantine luster, colorless, complex, reticulated cerussite looks, in part, like a classic, snowflake crystal. UNIQUELY and RARELY, one cluster of cerussite blades is a shocking green, included by malachite. FEW Tsumeb cerussites have malachite inclusions and this is an especially rich and excellent one from the Rob Smith Collection. There are even a few blebs of powder-blue chrysocolla scattered about. Chrysocolla is RARE at Tsumeb and some of it is included in the cerussite!
