AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
***WARNING – due to the current situation regarding tariffs, sales to the U.S. are TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED***
Cerussite crystals up to 23 mm long cover almost the entire front surface of the sample and are partly intercalated with delightful, small stalactites of brown Goethite, with which they contrast chromatically.
Collected in the 1970s, in a mine that has been closed for many years and is currently completely flooded.
Photographed under intense light.

Seller's Story
We have been collectors since 1972, present as exhibitors at the main mineral exhibitions in Italy and some European ones (Sainte-Marie-Aux-Mines, Monaco, etc.), where you can find us to get to know us in person, exchange opinions, talk about our beloved minerals and, should the auctions end close to an exhibition, deliver your samples directly.
All proposed minerals, unless otherwise specified, are photographed using a strong light source, to better show the colors and details of the sample.
If you buy multiple minerals in the same auction, we will ship them together and you will only pay the higher shipping costs.
