Cerussite (variety jackstraw) (Ref: 19EPB86)
Lescure Mine, Mayres, Thueyts, Largentière, Ardèche, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes France
50mm x 38mm x 37mm
Two generations of Cerussite crystals, the first formed by white, aerial crystals with a prismatic habit and with cyclic twin, terminated, with a satin luster. The second generation is formed by cream colored Cerussite crystals, smaller, but with bipyramidal terminations. Small remnants of limonitic matrix give a color contrast to the specimen. Habit different and sharper than usual for specimens from this locality. Comes from a mine exploited since Roman times for lead and silver, and finally closed in 1951.Lescure Mine, Mayres, Thueyts, Largentière, Ardèche, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes France (±2014)
