***WARNING – due to the current situation regarding tariffs, sales to the U.S. are TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED***

Splendid 5 mm Anglesite crystal, very gemmy and shiny, with a complex habit and a beautiful green color, extremely rare for the species. It is accompanied by other small green crystals in the cavity of the limonite matrix, and by Cerussite crystals up to 10 mm on the back of the specimen. An old specimen from the 1970s, now almost impossible to find.
Photographed under intense light.

Seller's Story

We have been collectors since 1972, present as exhibitors at the main mineral exhibitions in Italy and some European ones (Sainte-Marie-Aux-Mines, Monaco, etc.), where you can find us to get to know us in person, exchange opinions, talk about our beloved minerals and, should the auctions end close to an exhibition, deliver your samples directly. All proposed minerals, unless otherwise specified, are photographed using a strong light source, to better show the colors and details of the sample. If you buy multiple minerals in the same auction, we will ship them together and you will only pay the higher shipping costs.
