Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Anglesite
Locality: Touissit, Touissit District, Oujda-Angad Province, Oriental Region, Morocco (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: miniature, 4.5 x 4.2 x 2.6 cm
Anglesite
A stunning gem anglesite crystal with mirrorlike, shocking lustre and total gemminess and transparency. The photo is good, but even the skills of a top photographer do not do this glowing jewel justice. It really IS that good, in person. I have owned this fine miniature 3 times now, in back-and-forth dealing over the last 11 years since first buying it when the John Barlow collection was sold in 1998. It is featured in his book (page 314), in the chapter on major African locales. I lusted for this specimen when I first saw it in person and each time, I am stunned anew when I hold it again. It is simply that striking, in a way that the photo fails to do justice to. It sold back to me in each of two previous cases when it no longer fit with where a collector was going in style or size, no complaint about quality! I now have it back again, from the Tom Hall collection. Tom is a longtime collector, recently retired from first-chair violin for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, who since the 1960s has specialized in colorful miniatures and small cabinet pieces of high quality, trying to obtain the best he could in this size range from major, classic finds. His collection was always small but filled with choice beauties. This piece, to me, really epitomizes the old material from Toussit, and I remember first seeing it in the John Barlow collection book and thinking the photo was exaggerated even then. It was not overdone and if anything the piece really IS better in person, and has always been one of my favorites from that massive collection, even amidst so many more expensive treasures he owned.
