Description
Cerussite from the Tsumeb mine is one of the highly sought after specimens for serious collectors. This specimen features a lovely twin perched on top of a bit of matrix. Finding a twinned cerussite on matrix is quite a feat, especially considering that the Tsumeb mine was shut over 20 years ago in 1996. If you are looking to add an excellent Tsumeb cerussite to your collection you should consider doing so sooner rather than later.
