Wonderful classic twinned cerussite specimen from this famous locality. Glassy and translucent, very little matrix attached. Slight micro-chipping in one area, for this notoriously fragile species, especially in this size, this is in really fine condition. The specimen comes with several previous collection labels as seen at the end of the video. One of them comes from the personal collection of well-known British dealer Richard Barstow. This is a white label noting his personal collection; the more common green labels were from his dealer stock. Another label from the collection of Gunter Klimm. A third label from the collection of G.U.E. Bruest. The specimen comes with a custom acrylic display base.
