Item Description

Touissit and Tsumeb are generally considered to have produced the world's finest anglesite specimens. This very fine, aesthetic and rich Touissit small cabinet plate hosts two large impressive upright crystals with the matrix totally covered with flat-lying crystals. The striking water-clear, colorless, gem, orthorhombic spearpoint blades are beautifully striated. The large upright blade is 2.3 cm and the largest flat-lying blade is 2.4 cm. Complete all-around and pristine, this is a very choice 360-degree example of the species and famous locale. From a lead minerals collection.
