Description

This outstanding specimen is possibly the richest Moroccan cerussite I have ever handled! Over two dozens crystals, mostly twinned, are perfectly covering the dark altered galena surface of this matrix. Crystals are typical grey, with very good lustre and quite frequent throughout transparency. Provided a few minor peripheral dings, the specimen is in outstanding conditions.
I did purchase this specimen in 2006 during my visit to the Munich Mineral Show, where I bought it from a Moroccan dealer that I have never seen again at shows.
