This piece is highlighted by a 3 cm crystal of lustrous, transparent, and highly striated, golden- yellow anglesite. It is gemmy throughout, except for minute inclusions of galena floating within that add rather than detract to the pizzazz of the piece. This represents the finest color of the Touissit anglesite crystals which first appeared in the early 1980's. This is hands down about the sharpest, most stereotypical crystal I can imagine! The termination is so sharp, it is ridiculous, and is definitely BETTER In PERSON. 3.8 x 2.1 x 1.2 cm
