Description

This is a superb Greek cerussite specimen. That was an old find and most of the specimens were immediately destroyed during and shortly after extraction because they were extremely fragile and broke apart into tiny fragments. Thankfully, this one was saved as it was stabilized on the spot and retained its original form. Extremely rare and excellent for Greece!

ex. Konstantinos Papaspyropoulos collection.
