Description

Several twinned cerussite crystals, on the display face mostly coated by a thin layer of malachite (epimorph). Associated, fresh pyrite and pseudomorphed by goethite, therefore very stable.

Quite intriguing, from a rather famous find a few years ago. I was lucky to find a limited, choice lot at Tucson 2024!
