Anglesite is very rare from Tsumeb, and this piece is a nice, large display quality crystal that is doubly terminated (although slightly contacted at each end). This is a complex anglesite crystal which clearly exhibits stepped growth. It is glassy and somewhat gemmy with a pearly-blue color. I particularly like the gemmy stepped growth on the edges of the crystal. Crystals such as this, and in this size, should be conisdered very rare from Tsumeb.
