Item Description

Rich yellow anglesite crystals from Toussit are an uncommon and much sought-after species from this well-known district. Tsumeb and Toussit produced the worlds finest anglesites and this is a very aesthetic and excellent example. A gemmy, translucent and lustrous, very sharply terminated, rich sulfur-yellow crystal is very appealingly set in galena matrix. The small included galenas near the tip add even more visual interest to the specimen. Pristine, except for out-of-sight contacting on the back of the crystal. Ex Marty Lewadny Collection. Valued at $750.
