You've probably heard of the Marble Arch, but have you heard of the Cerussite arch? This large miniature specimen from Tsumeb mine is a funky piece and I can't recall having seen any Cerussite quite like it before. It appears to be a twin, certainly on two sides of the 'arch', but it might even be twinned again to produce the other side of the arch. Either way, it is one of those fun specimens that can become a talking point. Tsumeb mine has produced many wonderful Cerussite's, and in a variety of different shapes, but this one is a novelty.
