Item Description

An incredible "wet-look", apple-green pyromorphite thumbnail crystal from recent finds at the famous Daoping Mine of China. This pristine, floater, doubly termiated crystal is dramatically hoppered and and intensely tapered. The hoppering is terraced in the interior. It looks like a cavernous "horn of plenty"! The gorgeous, translucent crystal has textbook hexagonal crystal form. A superb and aesthetic pyromorphite thumbnail from Daoping.
