Item Description

SUPERB large thumbnail or small miniature of Anglesite with gorgeous, lustrous, and GEMMY amber-colored crystals. The largest crystal, 2 cm in length, is nearly doubly-terminated save only for a contact on one termination. The other crystals are equally fabulous. luster is incredible. It displays fantastically in a thumbnail case or on a base as a small miniature. Valued $1250. NOTE THAT THE MATRIX is crystallized galena - rare for the locality! in fact, I cannot recall seeing good anglesite on any crystallized galena, only massive junk matrix, before.
