A beautifully gemmy and lustrous, golden-yellow anglesite thumbnail from the 1970s finds at Touissit, Morocco. This very glassy, large crystal is complete all-around and has a striking, chisel termination. Very nearly pristine, with only trivial edge-wear. The back is contacted, but has no damage, per se. Ex. Carl Davis Collection.
