Description

Dramatic specimen consisting of tens of milky cerussite crystals twinned as snowflakes, perfectly perched on top of gossan matrix. Associated, white smithsonite botryoids further decorate this specimen.

Some very minor peripheral contacts on the external crystals, as depicted, this is a true oldtimer from the legendary Broken Hill mine, with a great color contrast.

Incredibly rich, this is one of the 'cherries' of the current auction and possibly the best Broken Hill cerussite I got in stock.!
