Item Description

An exceptional, colorful large two-sided pyromorphite from the 1970s to 1980s finds at the famed Les Farges Mine. Highly desirable rich green pyromorphite with amazing dense variable dendritic form covers both sides of this sculptural, 3-dimensional solid crust. Some of the more robust prisms are hoppered, adding even more pizzazz. The superb, striking front is pristine and the very lightly contacted back is incredible, in itself. One of the world's great pyromorphite localities, Les Farges is famed for crystal diversity, color and quality and this is an extraordinarily fine large example of this most desirable color and style varietal. Fairly valued at $2500-4500. Rarely on the market.
