San Valentin open pit, Sancti Espiritu, La Union, Murcia, Spain
description: Blocky crystals of what were once cerussite measuring to 1.0 cm in size, these replaced by crystallized anglesite and then coated with iridescent lustrous goethite, throughout this matrix. A neat locality example that is in great condition. Collected in 1995. This reminds me a lot of the similar material that came from Broken Hill in Australia years ago.
