This is an exceptionally rare specimen from a single pocket that produced what are regarded as the glassiest of Tsumeb cerussites of this reticulated habit. It is entirely pristine and complete all around, which is remarkable for such fragile minerals! It practically glows with soft color, and has the highest luster you could ever want on a Tsumeb piece, comparable to the best of Kombat Mine material, in fact. Erik Louw was a miner on the dioptase stope who traded extensively and accumulated one of the finest Tsumeb miniatures collections, purchased in entirety by the Sussmans in the late 1990's. 6 x 3.5 x 2 cm
