A superb and geometrically bizarre anglesite crystal habit, that is surely an antique piece from the oldest levels of the mine. It turned up in a collection in the midwest just last year, and went right into Sussman's collection. It has a good luster and odd greenish-yellow color to it, plus those nice beveled crystal terminations. 7 x 6 x 3.5 cm This Photo was Mindat.org Photo of the Day - 5th Nov 2006
