Gem Anglesite ex. Smale Coll.

Item Description

A gorgeous, 2.3 cm, gem, yellow anglesite crystal proudly rises above matrix of other contacted gem anglesites and gossan matrix. This water-clear crystal has a textbook chisel termination and is from the famous 1970s finds at Touissit. The color and clarity are remarkable. This fabulous crystal is very nearly pristine, with only the tiniest bit of bruising on termination edges (if using a loupe). From the elite collection of Steve Smale, his old miniatures suite, so you know it's good. Valued by Steve at $950 some years ago in a large trade. It is worth more today.
