Cerrusite on Galena with Barite – Mibladen, Morocco
Classic mineral association of cerussite (PbCO₃) in translucent, vitreous crystals, developed on a matrix of metallic gray cubic galena (PbS), accompanied by white/pinkish barite (BaSO₄) in lamellar plates.
Main features:

Cervusite: tabular to prismatic crystals, ranging in color from white cream to pale yellow, with a bright luster and well-defined faces.
Galena: offering a striking metallic contrast.
Barytine: pearlescent white aggregates with a pinkish hue in the background, adding a textural dimension to the whole.

Condition and provenance

Natural sample, unrestored, with some minor micro-contacts related to extraction.
Typical locality: Mibladen mines (Haut Atlas, Morocco), famous for its aesthetic and well-crystallized lead associations.

Balanced and representative specimen, ideal for illustrating the mineral paragenesis of this historic deposit. A specimen that is both scientific and decorative, appreciated by collectors for its contrast of colors and textures.
