Cerussite after Anglesite on Goethite

Recorded under neon light

Recorded under neon light
 

NBR14CD5: Isolated Anglesite crystals, with well defined and slightly yellowish faces and edges, pseudomorphed by Cerussite on a rock matrix covered by Goethite and secondary copper minerals that give this bluish appearance to the Goethite. This striking coating was even said to be Plumbogummite, but this piece has been analyzed, ruling out the existence of that species.
