Item Description

An impressive 14.5 cm vug is richly and attractively festooned with two generations of textbook, hexagonal pyromorphite barrels on the sculptural large matrix. The olive-green prisms are lustrous and moderately translucent. Larger crystals reach 9 mm and some are doubly terminated. The scattered bit of modest bruising is certainly only a modest detraction to this imposing and very rich large specimen. UNUSUALLY LARGE: Mass is 1099 grams or 2.4 pounds. The specimen is from the 1995 find at this ancient silver-lead mining district, worked intermittently since Roman times. Few specimens have come out since. Excellent and rich large pyromorphite from this locale.
