Description

Cerussite crystals from Mibladen are rather common. But big plates like this, full of lustrous, brownish-gray cerussite crystals, contrasted by orange-pink baryte crystals weren't offered very often and disappeared completely from the market a long time ago. This is a great chance to obtain an impressive hand-sized specimen.
