Cerrusite with Chalkotrichite on Malachite (M862)
Chalcotrichite, the fibrous, red variety of cuprite, has totally included lustrous and translucent crystals of cerussite and represents the rarest of the rare of beautiful Tsumeb mineral combinations, highly desired by collectors.I am told that they were only found twice in the mine, for the last time during the early 1970s. And these fiery red Cerussite is even set on chatoyant Malachite, which makes it even more exceptional!
