Description

Unusual coating of microcrystalline anglesite epimorphing octahedral galena crystals from this classic Lavrion gallery, associated to white aragonite sprays. 

Quite pleasant under a 10x magnification, I have not analytically verified the specie. From a purchase at the Munich Show 2006, obtained it from a German collector who collected it himself earlier on.
