Rare, sharp crystals of anglesite to 1 cm are perched safely in a vug, in galena matrix. The alteration referred to in the label, I am not sure about - it looks like it could be primary anglesite to my eye and perhaps the matrix around it is partially altered. It certainly is heavy ! A rare relic of old Broken Hill finds.
