Description

An old time reticulated cerussite from the Proprietary Mine, the cerussite has been liberally coated with anglesite crystals, dates originally from the early 1900's.

This specimen came from the Jose Rees collection and shows a fair mount of wear and tear around the edges, which is typical both specimens of this period and the methods of collecting at that time.
