Summary

Description
English: Cerussite, Malachite, Mimetite
Locality: Tsumeb Mine (Tsumcorp Mine), Tsumeb, Otjikoto (Oshikoto) Region, Namibia (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 3.9 x 3.8 x 2.4 cm.
This is an absolutely glassy and gemmy, mostly colorless cerussite crystal 2.75 cm in length that has been included by wisps of light green malachite. This was a very rare find reported only once to my knowledge, in the late 1970s. In fact there is an article about it in the famous Mineralogical Record special issue on Tsumeb from the time, 1978. Minor peripheral contact exists at the right edge of the crystal but it’s basically all there, and stands so robust and gemmy it couldn't be placed better. There is some damage to the smaller adjacent crystals, but the overall beauty of the specimen is simply not affected. A drapery of sparkling yellow mimetite is at the front, lower edge. Ex. Carnegie Museum Collection.
