A unique and colorful specimen obtained directly from the Zweibels, this anglesite is actually, I think, an intergrown twin. It is a floater, as well. It has oriented bands of blue and green copper mineralization wrapping around the specimen and these colors contrast starkly with what seems to be a covering of drusy, second-generation anglesite coating the large original anglesite crystals. 3.5 x 3 x 2.75 cm
