Description

What an impressive, large Anglesite crystal from Tsumeb. One side of the termination is showing a more or less gossan contact, the other side is excellent defined, sharp and lustrous. The prism faces are superbly striated, highly lustrous and the crystal is almost gemmy with some lucent parts. The third side of the crystal is broken off, where the crystals was somehow grown. A good specimen.
