Description

A choice complete cerussite sixling with glassy and gemmy crystals. While one face shows lustrous colorless crystals, the other side shows smoky phantoms and a slight greyish color. Comes with several labels, including one from Kristalle and another old one from Larry Conklin. There are some very minor nicks and edge roughness, but in very good condition overall for one of these!
