Item Description
Loose floater crystals of anglesite, seldom seen from this locality! At the time, thought a new mineral, they were named "Bouglisite" as the old label reflects. These were found during one of the Sorbonne-sponsored expeditions of Eduard Cumenge in the late 1800s. Rare and fascinating pieces of historical mineralogy!
