The specimen is complex in the underlying crystal morphology and structure, containing rhombic crystals to almost 2 cm and elongated stalactitic rods to at least 6 cm long. The Coronadite, an oxide of lead and manganese forms acicular crystallised crusts of 2 to 3 mm thick over the Cerussite pseudomorphs and in certain areas display the internal structure of needle like rods.
