Cerussite from San Valentín Mine, Spain

Cerussite from San Valentín Mine, La Unión, Murcia, Spain

Nice specimens of Cerussite, a lead carbonate mineral.

Specimens from this locale sometimes have a yellow fluorescence under 365nm ultraviolet light. The fluorescence is only in the cerussite crystals, which in these specimens are limited, typically only a few areas on each side.

Please note, as a lead mineral cerussite should be considered toxic and handled with care.
