Cerussite

Field of view: 30 mm. A vein of cerussite. The transparent vein with a vitreous luster is cerussite, and bladed crystals are in the open space. The surrounding massive brown host is limonite.

Recovered from an open space of a cerussite vein in a meteoric oxidation zone of a pneumatolytic deposit combined with skarn formed by contact metamorphism of I-type (magnetite-series) granite.

Cerussite from this location was described in 1892.
