Sold to me as Cerussite on Hematite, but I'm dubious. Any thoughts? More pics in comments (media.kbin.social)

Thanks! Got it from a vendor in California.

The clear streaks white, which tracks for Cerussite. Haven't checked hardness, but I'm not really questioning that ID. Fairly certain the "Hematite" is Galena though. It's very soft and streaks lead grey, lol.
