Anglesite (GEM quality)

Item Description

A really eye-catching small miniature specimen featuring of GEM to gemmy, sharp, lustrous, pale "straw" colored, orthorhombic crystals of Anglesite up to 2.1 cm on matrix. The overall aeshtetics combined with the superb quality make this a wonderful specimen 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 locale. 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 here and there, but it's more than forgiveable against the amazingly smooth almost machined-looking appearance of the crystal faces. Valued at $1500, and well worth it for such sharp, impressive, lustrous, GEM/gemy crystals. Rarely are the Anglesites from Touissit found in multi-crystal groups on matrix either.
