A straw type cerussite from this classic Australian locality.

This piece is from a recent purchase of the Max Schultz collection, a small but interesting variety of old time & self collected material.

There is no matrix and no damage, although of course many of the crystals are incomplete as is usually the case with this type of cerussite.

Comes with hand written label.
