About the Item

This exquisite Cerussite sixling twin from the world-famous Tsumeb Mine in Namibia displays remarkable form and gem-grade translucency. The perfectly developed reticulated twin shows the characteristic six-pointed star structure, a highly sought-after crystallographic habit where the crystals are twinned on all three axes. A smoky hue enhances the natural brilliance of this fine lead carbonate crystal, while sharply defined striations and glassy luster highlight its complex geometry. Specimens of this quality and symmetry from Tsumeb are increasingly scarce, making this a standout example of one of the locality’s signature minerals. A superb collector’s piece that exemplifies the combination of beauty and mineralogical precision for which Tsumeb is celebrated. Weight: 64.72 g
