Cerussite with Dolomite
Tsumeb Mine, Otjikoto, Namibia
5.3 cm x 4.0 cm x 2.6 cm
Here is a beautiful and unusual specimen of Cerussite from this famous mine.
Amazing cluster of cerrussite crystals sit perched atop of a matrix made up of dolomite and cerrusite.
The large cluster on top is well formed, the front of the specimen is coated in micro dolomite crystals.
The combination of micro dolomite and cerrusite gives the specimen a lot of sparkle.
The cerrusite fluoresces bright yellow in longwave UV lighting and the dolomite fluoresces pink under shortwave UV.
A very aesthetic and interesting specimen from the Tsumeb Mine.
