A fine example of reticulated Cerussite with large, well developed bladed crystals coated with a chalky, stark white layer of Hydrocerussite (actually, it is probably just starting the process of truly pseudomorphing into the hydrocerussite and that layer is probably an alteration rather than a coating). Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
