The world famous Tsumeb mine is rightly regarded as having produced the world's finest Cerussite specimens. These range from large and complex twinned crystals in a variety of habits, perfect individual tabular forms and crystals with exceptional clarity and gemminess. This small miniature Cerussite from Tsumeb, from the Weyand collection, is both extremely lustrous and gemmy, but combines this with an intriguing form - like a Star Wars fighter jet! Clearly a twinned crystal, this is an exceptionally unusual form and in great condition overall.
