Cerussite

Field of view: 5 mm. Cerussite associated with limonite. The group of tabular transparent crystals at the center is cerussite. The group is a penetration twin at 30 degree. The opaque white group at the right is hemimorphite. The light brown basement is limonite.

Recovered from a meteoric oxidation zone of a moderate-temperature hydrothermal deposit combined with skarn formed by contact metamorphism of I-type (magnetite-series) quartz porphyry.

Cerussite from this location was described in 1895.
