A very deep green crust of slightly botryoidal Malachite is richly scattered with small but beautiful twinned glossy cream coloured Cerussite crystal sprays, to about 5 mm across. Like cream coloured snowflakes these Cerussite crystals glisten on their contrasting dark background. Under magnification their quality is clearly seen to be of the absolute highest level possible. Very large miniature in size this presents exceptionally well and with its Tsumeb heritage it is a very special piece indeed. Ex Hettrich Collection.
