Description

Cerussite crystal from Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Otjikoto Region, Namibia

18-OO-14

6.6 x 3.3 x 2.4 cm

Reticulated Cerussite crystal with a dark sulfide matrix contrasting nicely against it. What really makes this piece interesting is it’s almost extruded look – it’s NOT tabular at all, as is the norm! Don’t miss this choice Cerussite specimen from the eternally popular and long defunct Tsumeb Mine! One of the richest ore bodies in the world, the Tsumeb Mine produced millions of tons of metallic ores as well as numerous varieties of minerals, in all sorts of combinations! Cerussite is one of the main species collectors go for from this locale. This is definitely a keeper!
