Anglesite

A species of Baryte Group, Also known as Lead Mineralized by Vitriolic Acid, Sulphate of Lead

Anglesite is a lead-containing mineral that forms crystals of varying colors. Occasionally mined for its lead content (lead has tons of commercial and industrial uses), high-quality specimens are also sought after by collectors. Crystals occasionally exhibit exquisite colorations, with blue, green, orange, violet, and yellow-hued varieties being particularly prized. Though found in multiple locations across the world, many collector-quality anglesites come from Morocco.
