Item Description

The label accompanying this piece states that this association is very rare from this classic locality, and the piece dates back to the 1880s. This is a very hard to find specimen featuring tiny, white / colorless crystals of Anglesite associated with pale yellow Jarosite on silvery Galena matrix. I don't think we've ever had a piece of the two species together to offer from this classic locality. Certainly sought after by people who know and appreciate the material. The specimen comes with a classic label from Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value.
