Like snow on the branches of a Christmas tree, the 'snowflake' twinned white Cerussite crystals sit upon a matrix of deep green velvety acicular to botryoidal Malachite. This combination, which is classic Tsumeb mine, presents extraordinarily well and at very large miniature in size is just right for display, especially at Christmas time. Ex Kessler Collection.
