Cerussite Gemstone & Information

Gemopedia™

Named for the Latin word cerussa, meaning "white lead," cerussite is a lead carbonate mineral. It forms in several different crystal habits when carbonated water interacts with other lead minerals. Prized by mineral collectors for its twinned V-shape crystals that are transparent to translucent and are colorless to white, gray, brownish or greenish. Although too soft for jewelry, cerussite is occasionally faceted for collectors; however, it presents challenges to lapidaries due to its soft, brittle nature.
