A Tsumeb Cerussite in combination with any mineral is always a find, but to have a sharp Cerussite abundantly covered with equally sharp and gemmy Azurites creates a combination that makes this highly desirable. A killer thumbnail, I think, for the color contrast and uniqueness of the piece (large thumb, anyhow). 2.4 x 2.4 x 1.8 cm
