The water-clear crystals of Anglesite here are of an unusual and very attractive rhombic prism habit, with superb luster and aesthetics. They look like GLASS, they are so bright and clear! The main 1.2 cm crystal and its two smaller companions are pristine, while the minor crytals have suffered dings to varying degrees. Nonetheless, this is a very nice miniature - also with much upside if trimmed to a killer thumbnail! 4.4 x 4 x 2.3 cm
