A shockingly pristine, symmetric, radial reticulated cerussite of classic style but with an unusual reddish tint to it! The piece is glassy and lustrous, and complete all around. No damage! Specimens of this quality and perfection are few and far between today, are generally 30 years and more out of the ground, and generally much more pricey. This is a rare treasure...
