Cerussite pseudomorph after Galena with Barite Bleiberg District, Gailtaler Alpen & Karnische Alpen Mts, Carinthia, Austria 5.15cm x 4cm x 3.3cm Ex. L. L. Hubbard (1849-1933) Collection Ex. A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum No. DM-7833

Description/Interesting Notes: A magnificent, old time classic example of cerussite after galena from Austria!!! This specimen consists of a white barite matrix that hosts a prominent grouping of octahedral galena crystals that have been completely replaced by cerussite!!! The pseudomorphic crystals are complete and undamaged all around!!! Upon close inspection, the cerussite crystals are sharp, complex, and lustrous and range in size to 3mm!!! Despite the cerussite crystals' complexity and fineness, the octahedral galena crystals' original form is still sharply preserved!!! This is not just a coating of cerussite on galena crystals - they are replaced by cerussite!!! This is an incredible old time pseudomorph indeed!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! This specimen retains a label from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum with L. L. Hubbard (1849-1933) Collection notation as well!!!
