Description/Interesting Notes:
A unique example of cerussite and mimetite from Tsumeb!!! This specimen consists of curiously etched, complex crystal of cerussite that
is partially encased in a "shell" of complex mimetite crystals!!! The cerussite
crystal is complete, glassy, and surprisingly gemmy despite its
appearance in the pics!!! The cerussite crystal is actually very well formed and sharp!!! The mimetite crystals are present both as orange, glassy crystals on the inward facing part of the
"shell" (or cast) and as whitish-orange, highly complex (almost hedyphane-like) crystals!!! This specimen is in fantastic condition and quite
showy and unique in person!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY MARCH 17th!!!
