This superb Cerussite specimen is not only a classic but is well crystallized too. It comes from the famous Příbram District in the Central Bohemian Region, Czechia and features many twinned cream-coloured Cerussite crystals (to 1 cm across) spread out upon a 1.2 cm thick layer of Galena. There is some minor damage to a few of the crystals, but this is a rare old-timer, accompanied by an old handwritten label from "Bergdirector Geipel Eisleben" believed to date to the early years of the 20th century.
