Description

A reticulated mass of colourless-white and amber cerussite with remnants of partly oxidised sulphide ore attached. Patches on the cerussite, apparently located where there is (or has been) contact with relict sulphide, are etched and coloured with secondary copper minerals, generally with a narrow margin of blue linarite (?) surrounding a core of green brochantite (?) (exhibits 2, 3 and 4).

No provenance is recorded for this specimen.
