Touissit is the world reference locality for yellow to orange anglesite, and this specimen shows exactly why. A large, gemmy, pale yellow crystal with superb transparency and vitreous luster — striated prism faces catching the light cleanly. Excellent contrast against the heavy, metallic galena matrix. Textbook Touissit composition.
