Specimen TSNB494

An irregularly-developed cyclical twin of cerussite, dark grey in colour, presumably due to the presence of relict galena (?) inclusions.

The specimen is from the collection of A. Glen Smith, which was donated to National Museum of Australia in 1982; it is now housed at Geoscience Australia, in Canberra.

The location in the mine is not recorded.
