Item Description

Touissit has produced world-class anglesite specimens and this is an outstanding matrix example. A stunning, sharp, 4.3 cm, limpid, light straw-yellow spearpoint is dramatically set on the edge of the sculptural boxwork mother rock matrix of corroded galena. This striking gem beauty is visually enhanced by the striated faces and very sharp edges. The crystal is nearly pristine, with only trivial edge wear, which is certainly only a modest detraction to this high quality classic from the Madrid Collection. Fairly valued at $2000 and well worth it.
