This is just a fabulous cerussite crystal - it is, as you can see, very GEMMY, and has this wonderful yellow color. The crystal is extremely complex in structure, and is complete all around - with just a bit of matrix attachments. All over its surface are small faces with glassy luster, in pretty ridges and rows. What is amazing is how much of it is exposed faces, and how small the matrix attachment is on back - it is almost all faces! Exceptional!
