An unusual and fine crust of pearlescent cerussite crystals on oxide-coated smithsonite crystals from the Tsumeb Mine. Some of the elongated, scalenohedral smithsonite crystals are quite gemmy and there is even a gem, 9 mm, cyclically -twinned cerussite crystal hidden on the side of this piece. Ex.
