Anglesite with Cerussite

Item Description

This specimen is a rare lemon yellow anglesite cluster, which came out mostly (so far as I know) in the 1970s and early 80s and not much since. Not only does it have beautiful, gemmy, translucent anglesites to 3 cm in rich growth, but there is something very rare in association - little brown, gemmy cerussites! The profusion of top color yellow really makes this a display quality specimen beyond its size...it is a shocking color, in person. Nearly all crystals are terminated well, only one has a slight contact in the display face; and there is some edge wear on the periphery obviously. But it is a gorgeous specimen with excellent color, and I have seen very few such association pieces. From an old collection in Europe, valued $2500
