Description

Aesthetic miniature specimen of cerussite on baryte from Mibladen, Morocco. Cerussite displays a pale creamy yellow group of very lustrous crystals with excellent lustre, elegantly perched on top of finely bladed white baryte. The main cerussite is approx 1 cm across, and when both are observed together it is possible to see a partial snowflake aggregate. Some minor galena cleavages on the back of the specimen.

In mint conditions, I could not spot a single ding. A real Moroccan classic, dated back to several years ago.
