| Title | Cerussite |
|---|---|
| Description | When massive or fine grained, cerussite (PbCO3) is just another nondescript white or glassy mineral. When crystals are well-formed, it creates spectacular specimens. It is known for its sparkle, high specific gravity and twinned crystals. All three features can be seen in this specimen which is about 3 cm across. |
