From the world famous Tsumeb mine in Namibia, this terrific miniature Cerussite shows off various morphologies of its reticulated habit, from intersecting branches to snowflake crystal forms and suggestions of a sixling stellate repeated twin within the complex array. The translucent light grey Cerussite forms a reticulated cluster measuring approximately 4.9 x 3.3 x 2.0 cm and is attached to a small triangular block of hard light to dark grey Dolomitic matrix, a ubiquitous part of the country rock assemblage.
