Anglesite
Touissit, Touissit-Bou Beker mining district, Jerada Province, Oriental Region, Morocco
Anglesite is among the rarest species to find in exceptional collector quality. The finest known examples were all discovered in Morocco during a short period of time in the late 1970s. This Anglesite possesses the finest lemon yellow color along with unmatched transparency. The large glass-like flat crystal faces make this specimen among the finest examples ever found.
