0491 Azurite, Malachite, Cerussite, Woodlawn, New South Wales

This specimen shows a couple of interesting properties of cerussite. The first is the unfortunate way that crystals can easily break (right hand end of main white cerussite crystal). The second is its habit of often producing partial or full cyclic twins (right hand side of specimen). Associated with lustrous blue azurite and a mat of green malachite. Width of view 9mm.
