MINERALS INDEX
Anglesite |
| PbSO4 |
| Orthorhombic |
Forms
m(110), l(104), and z(111)
Occurrence
Anglesite, associated with cerusite and galena, was seen only on several specimens of the
T. Lang collection that had been found in the calamine pits at Sterling Hill. It is partly
in massive coatings on lumps of galena and partly in crystal aggregates filling cavities
in the same parent mineral. Obviously it is a rare and unimportant mineral in the
district.
