Take an excellent and classic Cerussite sixling, generously sprinkle it with fine gray Smithsonite rhombs, and pop it onto a nicely trimmed matrix...and you create this fabulous combination piece that really has to be seen to be believed. It is a killer! In person, it is very 3-dimensional and the underlaying cerussite sixling more obvious. A second photo shows the backside, revealing that the drapery of smithsonite is hanging over the ends of the cerussite twin. 5 x 4.5 x 4.5 cm
