TS178 - Cerussite sold
Tsumeb, Namibia
Cabinet - 11 x 8 x 5 cm
Large, complete Cerussite in amazing condition considering it's a large, old, and brittle mineral - I can only a few small areas of contact or damage and even the bottom is crystallized. These fine, large Cerussites from Tsumeb are increasingly hard to acquire

A323 - Beryl with Elbaite and Albite sold
Stak Nala, Skardu District, Pakistan
Small Cabinet - 5.2 x 4 x 3.6 cm
Interesting floater specimen of a colorless to pale blue Beryl. Attached to one side is a green Elbaite that is naturally curved caused by fraturing and rehealing in the pagmatite pocket in which it grew. On the other side is a translucent Albite rising up and away from the Beryl. The bottom is rehealed making this a floater. Undamaged with a nice composition.
