Description

A sharp, lustrous single crystal of anglesite that is transparent in upper areas and dark with inclusions in the back and lower portions.  From the Pete Richards Collection, #943, he acquired it from Gene Schlepp and counted it among his international thumbnails, angled to fit in a perky box. In excellent condition from the front, with a chip in the back of the termination. A very fine Tsumeb anglesite crystal!

This is a tough crystal to photograph and video. The lustre is highly glassy, as you can see in the reflections in the video.
