3.5 x 2.9 x 2.2 cm

Lustrous, twinned Cerussite crystals on a gray matrix. Don’t miss this choice 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! This is definitely a keeper! (One of the Tsumeb piece I had my eye on, actually.)
