Cerussite var. V Twin Mammoth-St Anthony Mine, St....

Cerussite var. V Twin Mammoth-St Anthony Mine, St. Anthony Deposit, Tiger, Mammoth District, Pinal Co., Arizona, USA "A wonderful fairly transparent, light lemon yellow V twin of cerussite. Got this specimen from Jack Streeter when he sold me all his good Tiger pieces for $500 in 1972. He was a traveling salesman in the years after WW2 and used to go through Tiger from time to time and had a little money to spend, and he know what good specimens were and got them. Jack's Tiger pieces are the heart of my Tiger collection and make all the Arizona collectors cry when they see them." - Rock H. Currier I think Rock's comments about crying are spot on. This Cerussite is killer for such things from Tiger. Many piggy banks are going to be breached. Includes a custom acrylic stand. Overall Measurements: 1.6 x 1.2 x 0.6 inches (4.0 x 3.0 x 1.5 cm) Offered at no reserve Provenance: Ex. Jack Streeter Collection [RHC #4415, acquired 1979] MinID X8J-EQA [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
