Calcite on Cerussite

Unknown Owner
A single 2.0 x 1.4 x 0.8 cm tabular Cerussite crystal entirely coated in micro-crystals of pale lemon to tan-grey Calcite, giving the specimen a sugary texture. The Calcite is quite gemmy and causes the entire specimen to brightly sparkle. A great thumbnail of Calcite on Cerussite from the Tsumeb mine.
