WOW! What a large and fantastic cerussite crystal from Tsumeb! Transparency like glass, lustre like a mirror and a form like a skyscraper! Incredible features and hard to find in any mineral species. This cerussite has all of them. The crystal is so rich in forms and faces, it is truly amazing! The pointed termination atop contrasts with a bevelled flat termination on a side crystal and some twinned crystals poking out on the right side. Just wonderful - one of the very best and most impressive cerussite crystals i have ever seen from any locality in the world.
