Aesthetically perched high on a natural pedestal of matrix are twinned, glassy and gemmy, nearly colorless cerussite crystal, to 3 cm in length. The adamantine(diamond like) luster is incredible on these crystals! Although not large, the crystals are superb in quality and nicely balanced on just the right amount of matrix. An old classic, from this most famous of mineral specimens localities.
