Not often do you find tabular crystals of Anglesite that are pseudo-rectangular, let alone ones that are water clear with such good luster. It is also a rare species for Tsumeb. The cluster itself is quite aesthetic with numerous crystals up to 2.1 cm, but with some terminations being perfectly flat and some stepped, you get even greater variety and heightened visual interest. Purchased from Bill Larson in 1976
