Cerussite

This is a very unusual specimen of reddish cerussite, perhaps stained red by included iron or hematite? I haven't seen anything quite like it. It is complete on both sides except for the most trivial of dings on one small spoke. Actually, both starbursts are complete as well, even the bottom one on which I stand the piece up!
