MRF28CD4: 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.
