Touissit Anglesite specimens come in a gradient between colorless and neon yellow, with the most saturated crystals typically being the most valuable to enthusiasts. Of course Dan Kennedy only added an Anglesite of the finest color to his collection, and this one is consistently yellow all throughout. The largest crystal in the cluster grew to a ridiculously sizable 12 centimeters tall, with all of the other crystals following closely after. The arrangement is pleasing, with the largest crystals growing somewhat parallel to each other, in the same direction (upward!) but ending in very distinct and isolated terminations, which are nicely beveled. Anglesite is a remarkably dense mineral, heavy for its size, so this cluster is very substantial!
