Condition

A clear, colourless to milky white single Cerussite crystal from the Tsumeb mine in Namibia which packs a punch well above its weight! Measuring 7.2 cm in length, the crystal has perfectly parallel and flattened prism faces, culminating is a steep, spire-like, Roman sword termination. Many areas of the crystals are semi-transparent and, certainly towards the termination, printed text can be read through it. Both broad prism faces have a number secondary Cerussite crystals which have developed at 60 degrees both up and down, in reticulated growth. A great Tsumeb Cerussite.
