Like a small window pane, this individual small miniature-sized tabular to bladed crystal of Cerussite takes 'leaded glass' to a whole different level. Reaching 3.3 x 2.4 cm in size, this transparent crystal presents bevelled edges and fine parallel growth lines on its surface. There are a couple of small chips to one side of its top edge and a slight abrasion centrally on one face, but this is a very attractive individual Cerussite crystal from the famous Tsumeb mine. Ex David Hardman Collection, this was probably acquired by him during the 1960s or 1970s.
