Distinctive and very fine combination piece. The Cerussite is the rare red variety, included by ultra-fine Chalcotrichite. The green radial Malachite on the lustrous Cerussite provides a beautiful complement, making this a killer thumb from a truly rare and famous pocket that was hit just once in all the years of mining here. These red ceru thumbnails are among the most impossible to obtain, for any tsumeb suite of the more common species - and also among the most beautiful. 1.9 x 1.4 x 1 cm
