Description

Elegant miniature of candid white jack-straw cerussite on gossan matrix. Two main aggregates are quasi-stacked, visually cross-cutting each other, although spaced. A third crystal group crops out of the matrix. Medium pearly lustre, typical for this paragenesis.

Classic locality specimen, in very good conditions, it comes with an excellent color contrast. Acquired a few years ago, most likely dated back to the early 80s.
