This is a very neat combination that is not often seen from Tsumeb! The twinned cerussite sits on a matrix of crystallized metallic copper giving the specimen a wonderful contrast of both luster and color. Looking into the interior of the cerussite crystals it is easy to see a forest of crystallized copper spread through the interior. The specimen is very three dimensional in person and would make an excellent addition to any Tsumeb collection. ⁠
