A virtual forest of well-formed, bladed Anglesites completely line this large vug. The off-white crystals, which range up to about 1.1 cm and average about 0.8 cm in size, have sharp terminations. The luster varies from good to frosted, and the crystals are translucent. The majority are in excellent condition, and the Anglesites fill the vug without detracting from each other. This is an unusual specimen as Tsumeb Anglesites go, but the balance and abundance help make this a fine small cab. rare for Tsumeb
