One of the secondary lead compounds par excellence: Cerussite. In this specimen it appears in its maximum splendor, with very aerial and developed crystals, with a multitude of V twins and some cyclic twins. Cream tones, very lustrous and pearly, and in matrix. The specimen comes from the famous Touissit locality, in Morocco, and stands out for its perfection, not always easy to achieve in specimens from this locality.

NBR14CD5: Cerussite after Anglesite on Goethite

Isolated Anglesite crystals, with well defined and slightly yellowish faces and edges, pseudomorphed by Cerussite on a rock matrix covered by Goethite and secondary copper minerals that give this bluish appearance to the Goethite. This striking coating was even said to be Plumbogummite, but this piece has been analyzed, ruling out the existence of that species. A Spanish classic from the Corta San Valentín in the La Unión mining district in Murcia.

MRF28CD4: Cerussite with Wulfenite, Dolomite and Galena

An interesting set of secondary lead minerals from the legendary Touissit. The matrix displays ancient molds of relict cubic Galena crystals and, thanks to an area of cementation, various secondary minerals derived from the initial lead sulfide, resulting in a partial coating of cream-colored Dolomite crystals on which whitish twinned crystals of Cerussite are intergrown with remnants of dark Galena and finally, a beautiful group of lustrous Wulfenite crystals with an intense yellowish color adorning the center of the piece, where they cover an elongated Cerussite crystal, larger and with a different habit and colour than the other crystals of Cerussite on the piece. The specimen has been analyzed and we will send a copy of the analysis to the buyer.
