Good Anglesites are hard to find today as most came out in the 1980s or earlier; and so this 2+ cm crystal is well worth taking a hard look at. This crystal has a fine lemon-yellow color, excellent luster, and a gemmy termination edge. The back surface is somewhat contacted, which is of little consequence; and the small included Galenas near the tip add even more visual interest to the specimen.
