Item Description

Beautiful, classic, gemmy yellow anglesite spearpoints line an aesthetic, impressive, large 9.0 cm vug in sculptural, large very hefty granular galena matrix on this striking and classic combination from famed Touissit. The dominating, gorgeous, limpid, very glassy large crystal is 3.5 cm. The red oxide tinting to some of the anglesites adds real color and contrast to this very well composed large combination. All of the crystals in the interior of the vug are pristine.

This is a very fine, well-composed large combination with a richly filled large vug of gemmy anglesite crystals. Rich and hefty lead ore at 4.2 pounds or 1.9 kilos mass. Valued at $1250-1500.
