Description

This is an outstanding 3-D twinned floater cerussite in a very large format exhibiting sharp features and totally symmetrical.

The divisible line separating the two individual crystals is easily discernible at a glance already, one is slightly darker than the other. The distinctive “V” form is a classic with numerous white phantoms included in the termination and untold number of V shaped striations on both broad faces shared by both crystals. Speak about natural programming!!

The condition is not pristine with some chipping typical for old cerussite that have repeatedly travelled the world as good specimen usually do.
