While cerussite from Mibladen is certainly no rarity this is one of the finest I have seen for this style and size. The main crystal which is 2.5cm across features one of the most unusual growth habits i have seen from here. While cerussite is often found reticulated or in one of its many twinning habits this specimen has blocky lustrous closed sixlings that started to reticulate again from the tips of the twin planes. A very aesthetically pleasing specimen with intricate morphology.

Cerussite from Mibladen, Morocco
from Mibladen has the kind of visual tension collectors remember: glassy lead-carbonate crystals, often colorless to smoky honey-yellow, perched against pink, peach, or white baryte and dark remnants of galena. The best pieces have a distinctly Moroccan palette—warm baryte rosettes or blades, metallic-gray galena, and bright, twinned cerussite that seems too heavy for its delicacy. Under ultraviolet light, many Mibladen cerussites add a second identity, glowing yellow in a way that has made the locality especially interesting to fluorescent-mineral collectors.
