Item Description

Lustrous, translucent, olive-green textbook hexagonal pyromorphite barrels, to 9 mm, are festooned on the sculptural large, sawed matrix plate from the 1995 find at this ancient silver-lead mining district, worked intermittently since Roman times. Some are doubly terminated and some have hoppered terminations, adding more pizzazz. Few specimens have come out since. Ex Raul Sanabria Collection. Rich and excellent large pyromorphite from this locale.
