Description

Beautiful miniature specimen featuring four principal gemmy cerussite crystals. The crystals are pristine and show wonderful twinning. There are delicate cream-coloured bladed crystals of barite in association and the matrix is galena. The largest cerussite crystal is 1.8 cm. I was very happy to acquire this specimen from a miner’s family in the village of Mibladen.
