I acquired this piece in 2024 at the Dallas Symposium.

Moroccan anglesites are always stunning, but this piece stood out to me because of the color and form, both of which are superb in quality. This anglesite is one of the better ones I've seen in thumbnail/toenail size, so it was an easy decision to obtain it.
