Anglesite

Item Description

A striking and "fan"-like bladed group of GEM to gemmy, razor-sharp, lustrous, pale "straw" colored, orthorhombic crystals of Anglesite. The overall aeshtetics combined with the superb quality make this a top notch miniature of this well known and highly sought after material. Arguably, the finest Angelsites extant come from this locality, and for good reason. Rarely does one encounter such well-formed, gemmy crystals of any size from virtually any other world locality. Even some of the best that Tsumeb has to offer are not nearly as impressive as the finest from Touissit. Great quality all around, with only superficial roughness along the base of the crystals. Valued at $1500, and well worth it for such sharp, lustrous, gemmy crystals. Rarely are the Anglesites from Touissit found in multi-crystal groups, especially with aesthetics like this.
