Superb example of the classic reticulated 'snowflake' habit of Cerussite. The luster in very good, and the thickness of the Cerussite gives this wonderful specimen a very stout feel to it. Cerussites with the flat and highly reticulated style are rare and highly sought-after. Beyond that, the pictures tell you all you need to know. This is a premium, aesthetic small cabinet that looks amazing on a shelf! It does, as do they all, have some wear around the edges on close inspection and when seen on edge, that does not show from the display face. A classic from the Tsumeb of a style found in the early 1980's, these are hard to come by today.
