Description

One of the most peculiar cerussite specimens I have ever had from the Lavrion mining district, this sixling twin is possibly the larger I have ever seen, and surely the largest I have ever possessed.
It comes as creamy blades with good for the specie lustre and it is shows some very minimal matrix attached to it.
This is a good thumbnail from Lavrion, definitely an oldtimer. 

From my Lavrion suite, definitely rare material.
