An EXCEPTIONAL and RARE Tsumeb pseudomorph of grayish-white anglesite after cyclically-twinned cerussite crystals. This is an OLD-TIME Tsumeb piece, definitely from the upper oxidized levels of this famous and now-closed mine. This super fine rarity is mounted on an Ed Swoboda Competition Case lucite base with label (as he exhibited into the 1980s) .
