Cerussite from Mexico, Sonora, Santa Cruz Municipality, Milpillas, Milpillas Mine

This piece is interesting because its from the Milpillas Mine in Mexico. I haven't seen cerrusites from there previously. I was also surprised to see it in the "What's new" section of the Mineralogical Record after Tuscon.
