Cerussite with Goethite
 

SV3220NXB: The best known specimens from the San Valentín Quarry are the Cerussite pseudomorphs after Anglesite, and covered by iridescent Goethite, but sometimes the cerussites are not pseudomorphs after Anglesite and sometimes they are not covered by Goethite either. This is the case here, and furthermore, although the Cerussite crystals are not very big, they are very pretty and in perfect condition.
The piece is very unusual because it was in one of the large collections in that area, that of Mariano Guillén and from his collection it went to that of Miguel David Martínez with the number 887.
