A 1 cm thick rib of highly lustrous, reticulated Cerussite with flat, parallel sides and much of its void space lined and coated with silky, peppermint green fibrous Malachite. From Tsumeb mine in the Oshikoto Region of Namibia, the blocky habit of the reticulated Cerussite is typical for the mine but is unusual in the form and colour of the associated Malachite. A great miniature.
