Water-clear, glassy anglesite blades to 1.0 cm are attractively set in a vug of massive, specular galena on this showy old-time piece from a classic Italian locality - Monteponi in Sardinia. Highly representative of the species and historic locale. Accompanied by an expertly handwritten, faded label from an older collection. The collection this came out of was a museum stash dating to prior to World War I.
