Description
Locality:

Crystal Group/Cluster
Size Range: 
Miniature (4.5-7 cm)
Size: 
6 × 3.5 × 2 cm
Description

A curved cerussite crystal that came as part of a berg aukas collection, I have never seen one like it before and can thus not tell you very much about it in the absence of any literature surrounding this morphology. It seems to be a floater by the absence of matrix and evident micro crystallization at the base are front and back.

The reticulated crystal is robust- 2cm thick which makes its unique curved edges very impressive- heavily striated and beveled as if formed mechanically, it shard to believe after having handled so many typical cerussite over the years.

There is light diffraction evident in the front face of the specimen, the condition is not perfect with some missing limbs and a chip on the back side.
