An outstanding, 3-dimensional cluster of pearlescent, lustrous, off-white, arrowhead cerussite crystals from Broken Hill, Australia. The accompanying label states that the piece was collected in 1894 and is from the MMM Mine. Specific mine locality information is not that common for old Broken Hill material! A CLASSIC, OLD-TIME specimen from the William Hiss Collection and is very nearly pristine.
