This specimen, originally in the Joan Lamond micro collection, and now in the Steve Sorrell Collection, was simply labelled Cerussite, Broken Hill. However, once a Convoy S2+ longwave UV torch was shone on the specimen, the marshite was immediately evident! Marshite fluoresces a bright red colour.

A large reticulated cerussite from the Milton Lavers Collection. Sold through Rob Sieliecki’s Ozrocks business. We are fortunate that cerussite specimens of this size and quality were collected over the years.
