Anglesite - gemmy crystals
Touissit, Touissit-Bou Beker Dist., Jerada Province
Oriental Region, Morocco
1.7 x 1.1 x .8 CM (thumbnail)
price: $90
A cute thumbnail of light yellow Anglesite crystals in a slightly radiating cluster. These are transparent, glassy and sharp, this is also fluorescent an orange-red in long wave UV. The color is fully natural, some Anglesites were color enhanced in Morocco by dipping into a chlorine bleach. The results were deeper color but also an odd luster, this one is completely real. In good condition, all the terminations are perfect, there is contact/roughness on some of the lower sides only. Touissit has been closed for decades now but it was once a magnificent locale for fine lead secondaries.
