Description

This superfine, German oldtimer features numerous of elongated, partially twinned crystals of  Cerussite, composed as an aesthetical cluster. The largely tapering, sharp and lustrous crystals are mostly excellent terminated and they are presenting an olive-gray colour at the display side,- the backside is lighter. Good classic Cerussites from Germany are rare and in general hard to come by,- but this comes from Siegerland! That area produced in its heydays a minimal percentage of good Cerussite specimen compared with the well known localities like Bad Ems, Harz or Saxony.
