A richly covered and showy Tsumeb CABINET combination specimen. The 1.2 cm, upright, gemmy, smoky cerussite set in the lower vug really makes this piece. The vugs are lined with lustrous, pearlescent, off-white smithsonite rhombs to 1.2 and light sea-green, botryoidal willemite. Ex. George Elling Collection.
