Description/Interesting Notes:

An amazing, old time example of cerussite from this historic locale!!! This specimen hosts two complex crystals of cerussite prominently perched atop an altered galena crystal matrix!!! The crystals are sharp, lustrous, complete, and undamaged!!! The crystals measure up to nearly 1.7cm!!! The cerussite crystals have a gorgeous amber-brown coloration that is concentrated at opposing faces!!! One of the cerussite crystals has a small amount of quartz on one face as well!!! The matrix consists of a large, complex crystal of altered galena with some quartz in association!!! This specimen is in superb condition all around displays gorgeously in person!!! This specimen dates to the 19th century and is a magnificent example of the species from this historic locality!!! This specimen is from the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia and retains its original old label that notes it was from the collection of Edward D. Drown (1861-1919)!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!!
