Description

To anticipate: this specimen has not been analyzed and it is therefore not certain whether it is really duftite.
In any case, this superb miniature offers a very attractive combination of smoky, transparent to translucent cerussite and the unspecified green mineral. Flawless in the center, with only a few imperfections on the periphery.

The stated weight includes the acrylic base, the dimensions refer to the mineral alone.
