A striking 3.3 cm GEMMY Anglesite with superb luster and great 'brightness'. It is really like glass. Top-notch Anglesites from the famous locality of Touissit are hard to find, and this is one of the better miniatures I have seen in awhile. These were probably mined in the late 1960s or through the 1970s. Certainly, not recent. this is complete all around. The termination id "decorated" with little outgrowths and some slightly greenish mineralization, not unattractive.
