This is a fantastic and somewhat unique, cabinet size specimen from Tsumeb. The large matrix is coated with both white and apple green Smithsonite from which numerous twinned, gemmy Cerussite crystals emerge.

This can be seen best in the second photo!

Many of these Cerussite xls have a light coating of the white Smithsonite making this combo even more interesting. A quick enlarging of the main photo shows the numerous Cerussite best.

From the collections of Chris Amo, Marshall Sussman, Fritz Dietz.
