Rarely seen in today's market place, this small cluster of cerussite from Leadville is obviously an old specimen. Featuring adamantine luster and translucence, this specimen exhibits a whitish-yellow color superior to the chalky look seen on most surviving specimens from there. The largest crystal measures almost 3.0 cm in length. Ex. Carnegie Museum Collection.
