Lustrous, pearlescent to glassy, off-white to green, cyclically-twinned cerussite from the famous Mammoth Mine, Tiger, Arizona. The Art Montgomery label indicates that this piece dates from the late 1930s. This classic specimen would have been lead ore in the 1930s and the $1.00 price was not cheap. The scattered damage is barely noticeable on this very glossy piece. Ex Richard Hauck Collection 5.9 x 5.4 x 3.8 cm
