Leadhillite with Cerussite

specimen number:
1641029

location:
Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Otjikoto Region, Namibia

description:

Good leadhillite specimens are not commonly seen available. The largest and finest crystals undoubtedly have come from Tsumeb. This example is excellent, with a glassy colorless partly gemmy to opaque leadhillite crystal a full 5.0 cm across set up on a "matrix" of sparkling colorless crystallized cerussite. The leadhillite crystal is complete all around; there is very minimal and tiny micro-chipping on some of the crystal edges as seen. Overall I feel that the crystal is in excellent condition. There is some damage to the cerussite crystals. Measures 7.0 x 5.0 x 4.0 cm in size overall. A truly fine example for this species.
