A sharp, GEM, cyclically-twinned cerussite crystal cluster with a bit of matrix forms a very showy and excellent specimen from Tsumeb. The large cerussite blade looks just like cut glass and the trivial edge bruise is barely noticeable and is certainly not detracting from this beauty. MUCH BETTER In PERSON. You would be hard-pressed to find a gemmier cerussite.
