- This whole specimen is about 95% anglesite and is totally covered with anglesite crystals. The other 5% seems to be highly corroded bornite or chalcocite. Most of the anglesite crystals are very sharp, terminated crystals with dark inclusions of sulphides or dark oxides. There are some colourless/white anglesite crystals as well. Sawn base. Not all that aesthetic but really a very good example of anglesite crystals!
