Description
A charming and aesthetic reticulated Cerussite, the intersecting blades of which create a snowflake-like geometry. The Cerussite crystals are pure milky-white and translucent with well crystallised terminations. This lovely thumbnail has 2 cm broad crystals which form the overall width of the specimen and whose striated faces create a beautiful silky lustre. From the Touissit mining district in Jerada Province, Morocco, a terrific Cerussite displaying a superb and classic reticulated habit.
