Cerussite(or Anglesite?), on matrix, Touissit, Morocco: $85.00
Here is a really nice specimen, with multiple flawless crystals in a matrix which appears to be Galena. The piece was sold to me as Anglesite from Touissit in Morocco, but did not come with a label. The ready and strong fluorescence under longwave UV, a peach yellow color makes me doubt that somehow, however, Anglesite is known to fluoresce yellow under longwave from certain localities.... Sure, the crystals resemble Anglesite, strong adamantine luster, good transparency, and a tabular habit. However, could these be non twinned Cerussites with clear transparency? And for that matter, could this be Cerussite on Tennantite from Tsumeb, instead of Anglesite on galena from Touissit? So a nice mystery specimen. For sure it\'s either Anglesite or Cerussite, and in really good quality too, so for who-ever loves this lead sulfate mineral will have a killer specimen here. My hunch is still that Anglesite from Touissit might be correct(keep in mind that most good Anglesites found at Touissit were white, and not yellow in color..)This specimen is 4 3/8 oz in weight, or 126 grams in weight. The size is 2.4 inch x 2 inch x 1.2 inch. Please be advised, I ship with Ground Advantage.
