Cerussite - blue-green crystals on Pyrite
stock #AX-29-107
Mina Ojuela, Mapimi
Durango, Mexico
9.6 x 6.3 x 2.7 CM (cabinet)
price: $380


Several habits of well-formed Cerusite crystals are scattered on a Pyrite matrix. The Cerussite covers both sides of this piece but the best are on the side shown here. In fine condition with excellent color on the crystals. It has been said the green coating is Posnjakite and other sources say it is Langite. Both are logical possibilities but this is untested. No matter the source, the color and sharp crystal habit make for a very attractive specimen. From a find in 2015 at the Ojuela Mine, one of history’s greatest sources of mineral surprises.
