A lovely 2.7 cm spear-head Anglesite crystal perched on matrix from classic finds of the 1980s. Rarely do you find one well exposed above the matrix, freestanding, and with the termination so wonderfully symmetric - and not often do you find this habit of a fat termination, for that matter. Most are tapered. Ex. Charlie Key.
