Description

This is the little brother of the larger specimen we saw before. Anyway another great piece from the Kalenberg opencast mine near Mechernich, one of North Rhine-Westphalia´s classic lead deposits, although good specimens have rarely been found over the years. In this case, we see a truly outstanding Cerussite specimen with snow-white, tabular, epitaxially intergrown crystals up to 1.8cm long, which would be considered a good Cerussite specimen even for Tsumeb. The crystals have an adamantine luster and a hint of a snowflake shape. Since the mine was permanently closed in 1957, such magnificent specimens are practically no longer on the market.
