This loose detached crystal is an enormous Anglesite crystal from Tsumeb mine. Opaque and white, it appears to have surface alteration, but we believe that this coating is also Anglesite. At 7.7 cm across at its widest and with rounded but well-defined crystal sides this is a remarkable Anglesite crystal from anywhere, let alone the great Tsumeb mine. The rear of the crystal is recessed slightly where it was once attached to matrix but overall, considering its size, it is in fantastic condition. An important Tsumeb Anglesite crystal.
