Robust, incredibly glassy anglesite crystals to about an inch dominate this specimen and make it a great miniature sized example of the classic anglesite from here that came out in the 1970s. This is overall an impressive miniature, and unusually well balanced with its bit of matrix. Ex. Harold Urish Collection.
