Cerussite - classic Jackstraw crystals
Flux Mine, Patagonia
Arizona, United States
8.3 x 5.7 x 3.4 CM (cabinet)
price: $450
new year 2021
"Jackstraw" habit of pearly luster Cerussite crystals from the famed finds some decades ago at the Flux Mine. Now considered to be Arizona classics, these Cerussites are immediately recognizable and now much less available in good quality. This piece has crystals to almost 4 CM long. Some of these seem to be slightly reticulated but most are simple elongated smooth sided prisms in a jumbled heap. No matrix to speak of this is all Cerussite and in much better condition than most, many crystals have a complete jagged stepped termination. A small wad of clay was added long ago on the bottom of the specimen to allow it to sit on a shelf for display without putting weight on the delicate crystals. We recommend to keep it as it has done its job well but it can be removed if desired. Delicate, but this can be shipped.
