Anglesite with sulfide inclusions
Tsumeb
Otjikoto Region, Namibia
2.3 x 2.2 x 1.5 CM (thumbnail)
price: $220
A fine thumbnail of Anglesite showing the entire crystal form perched on a sliver of matrix, from Tsumeb.
This habit of Anglesite with the zoned dark inclusions is distinctive. In fine condition, no damage can be found even at 20X magnification. One end of the crystal has both Pyrite and Galena in small crystals and masses on the exterior faces, the other end is uncoated except for some micro Cerussites (white) not seen without good magnification. There are dark inclusions of what is most likely Galena seen at several places but mostly near the terminations as dark zones. The matrix here is mostly a druse of small Anglesites that are black, lustrous and thickly included with Sulfides. A choice Tsumeb piece and a nice Anglesite.
