Description

A cyclical twin of cerussite, colourless, but with a slightly milky (etched) appearance, selectively encrusted with nodular aggregates of olive-green duftite crystals.

Mark Feinglos purchased this specimen from David New in 1977. New’s label noted that it had been collected in 1969. There is, however, no record of location in the mine.
